WOW Gary! Very nicely done!!

I don't know how you guys can build something like that that is soooo small! I'd be tripping all over my hands and fingers...

"...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

Superb work sir! And a credit to the WOA Build I must say!!

How was the Heller kit to build? I have seen their offerings, but have hesitated to purchase one because of my dissapointment with their handling of the VAB kit.

Tread.

Heck, couldn't be worse than this 'soft' HobbyCraft Bismark.

Thanks for that Mike. Hey, did you notice no float plane?
It was sitting on my shelf waiting for me to paint the canopy.
I forgot all about it untill after I took the pics!
Me and my big mouth! LOL.

Howdy Treadster!
Thanks for the good words! I like the Heller ship kits. They dont compare to the Tamiya offerings, but they are realy nice kits. And as a plus, they have kits of ships that no other company produces! I have built all of there kits at one time or the other, and am starting to build them all again. Nice to build somthing out of the norm!

Regards,

Garry

I like it Garry. Very nice camo work. Now if somebody just made a few 1/350 British cruisers we could stage a little "what if" with the Lutzow doing a battle in the North Atlantic.

Garry,

Looks fantastic. I've got my Sea Readiness badge on and awaiting to get re-issued my sea legs again.

Cheers,
Gabe
