Description:
ARA General Belgrano - Scratch - Scale: 1/400
This model represents the Argentine light cruiser ARA General Belgrano (ex-USS Phoenix) in her final configuration prior to be sunk in 1982. This is completely scratch built from evergreen sheets, except for the wooden deck.  The weathering is very limited because the totality of the consulted reference documentation was showing Belgrano in general good state of conservation, so was chosen to realize rust only under the anchor and some drippings along the bands. Humbrol enamels were used to paint the model whose assembly demanded ten months of work between February and December 2007.
