Fujimi now have ship kits molded in colour. Waiting to see how they handle the more complex camo patterns of allied ships.

Argh. Dun mention Airfix. Those model kits needed glue wan and the plastic was not coloured unlike Tamiya and Gunpla.

ships very intimidating for me.
too big
Start with a 1/700 destroyer.
Invest in a nice pair of tweezers.

If you are scared of small parts flying away or breaking when you snip, reinforce them with masking tape before you cut.
