Mark,

Bismarck is looking good, and those wood decks are especially stunning!


Real wood decks look the part, but I find they don't always behave - is the planking peeling up just aft of the funnel...?

Thanks for you comments Tim much appreciated. The Wood Deck isn't peeling up. That is part of the Ramp System leading up to the Catapault.....Cheers mark

Don't worry Tim I still have problems with some Decks. I just found through trial and error for me that the Mk1 Decks work best for me.

Mark, you are seriously moving along here! Wondering if you're trying to give Si a run for his money

Certainly some mighty fine work too!
