Thanks!

That first look is far more in-depth than many peoples full reviews! Well done Julian, and I am very jealous..

Thanks Julian... I have to wait a few days for mine

Great job. I am getting excited to receive mine!

Too big for me to build,but I am looking forward to some impressive build logs.

Thank you very much Warren,
the kind remarks are much appreciated
Julian

I think you will be pleasantly surprised Wojtek,
it's not perfect but it is worth the wait, I am really impressed with this offering,
cheer mate,
Julian

It's huge and it's the best offering I have seen in a poon's age,
great model Jim, a must have.
Julian

We will try and sate your appetite there Anthony, I also have absolutely no idea where I will store this monster when it's built but there is no way I am not going to build this A once in a lifetime experience and I am going to grab it
Julian

This is even better:

(everyone forgets)

I did, your right.

Julian

I hope that Bismarck have at last same quality of moulds like Arizona ? Or maybe even better ? On the earlier posted photos AA guns looks great, but Arados (OMG NO INTERIOR !!) and motor boats (ths time seriously NO INTERIOR ??) well, they looks a little bit disappointong...

But this kit seems to be magnificent... 3703 will be Tirpitz or Yamato... or maybe Hood ?

Obviously an easier mistake to make than one would think, thanks

Wojtek: Well I'm sure they needed to find some way to keep the costs down, and the aftermarket busy
I think any one of them would be a logical choice, but I'm hoping it's the Yamato.

Well... in this case I have to sell my Trumpeter's 1/16 KT to buy 1/200 Yamato... but if I have to, I will do it

Whoaahehhehe



:D

That should keep you off the streets today Jan, did you get the add-on set? You were waiting for that.
Cheers,
Julian

ArtWox Model is supposed to be releasing a comprehensive upgrade kit for Trumpy's 1/200 Bismarck late this year.

This will include a wood deck, turned metal barrels for all the smaller guns, (Trumpeter already includes turned parts for the main battery) - brass link anchor chain, and an elaborate set of P.E. frets which is sure to have eyeballs rolling.

No update yet as to whether Oskar's (the ship's cat) litter box is included.

Including the resin doo-doo's

Jan,

OMG !! this is Revell 1:72 U-boat ?

Great 1st look and great link, now I am really tempted. Does the seperte Bow mean the possibility of a Tirpitz?

Si

I would hope so Si, but I don't want to jump the gun.

Yes, Bismarck makes it look small, even my 1:72 Gato looks small compared to the Bismarck hull

Cheers/Jan

Congratulations Jan This sounds to rock and roll in a little time!!! Jajjajjaja very interesting a dispute!!! Or one Bismarck and one Tirpitz?? Jejejeje
