I thought I'd chime in to cheer ya on Julian... I'm new around here but I've been doing an ongoing Bismarck build myself since last November and have been following along here since the beginning. This is not an easy project but you are doing great, and your build is looking great even without the pricy extras we all seem to *need* for projects like this.

Good work and happy building!

Ok. They give birth the filming. Cut!!!! Jajja Hi Jason, welcome!! I do not deal, this cover of wood is MK1 only Value Pack or in the DX Pack ...... and the railings are included!!! This way that solved topic. I do not understand this comment " I see Eduard released PE railings for this kit; they wouldn't cost an arm and to leg like the Mk1 set and might be to better option than the kit railings. "
Jason these doing a beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it.
Regards Daniel

I'd hate to tell y'all how much I spent on my Bismarck... with more $$$$ to come too.

I also built the 1/200 Arizona and yea, Trumpeter PE is not the friendliest stuff in the world to work with!

I see Eduard released PE railings for this kit; they wouldn't cost an arm and a leg like the Mk1 set and might be a better option than the kit railings.

Anyway, here's a couple pics of my build so far:













I replaced all the portholes and am using the Mk1 set + the Trumpeter detail-up set.

I've got a fairly long and involved build log going on at another site with more details... I don't want to get in the way of the excellent builds here but it's always fun to share in the joys and pains of this kit with the rest of the Internet Bissy Builders.

Where you been Warren? Out pestering the livestock again?
I don't think I will be building a few "Bissie's", too many other things to build around. The Trumpie railings are p*****g me off big time. I might even be tempted to try something else.
When are you going to start building one of the Bismarck's from the piles in your carport mate?
cheers,
Julian

It's leftovers from a strange weather phenomenon you folks down in Oz have probably never heard of. It's cold, slick, wet awful stuff that nobody can stand, a bit like Vegemite except more white and melty. Thank god spring is almost here!

... Friend Warren!!. I do not believe you!!. I buy later that you and I have prompt. You have an Ace under the sleeve.

Got that right Started reinvesting in this project
Sub-contractors in Germany and the United Kingdom delivering parts as we speak. Also some more orders to be placed
If you go, go for broke my dear old grandmother used to say Now that I have started ordering odds and ends I might as well enjoy it.
Cheers Daniel , the fun is about to start

The book is nice on details but lacking in knowledge of the colour schemes used. At the moment having fun reading while enjoying a drop of brandy,
cheers,
Julian
How are sending your parts? By long distance duck?
P.s. did you check out my answer to your remark about the Admiral's walk on the Varyag?
