Oh yes!

Now the trouble I am running into. I did not get a Tirpitz. But I do plan to get a Prinz Eugen. So, do I fill my last open 350 ship spot with Graf Spee or another.

Then the other problem, actually working in time for building one.

I like the latest trend in what Trumpeter is doing. Including the PE...at least for railings and cranes nd such. No longr have to go out and add an additional $40 + and wait 3 additional months for set to get made. Yea Trumpeter. I plan to add this and the Repulse to my stash.

The Prinz Eugen was MSRP at $139 as listed at Freetime Hobbies. So I am guessing the Graf Spee will be close to the same.

Yes, adding that little bit of PE is great news.
