Howdy Gunny,

Thx for letting us know about this one. She looks dandy, but I am quite curious about just how big a role the "CAD" bragging right plays in the final product? Or, how this new RoG kit will compare to other available offerings. Plus, considering whatever it's eventual price will be, how about bang-for-the-buck?

Tread.

All very good and valid questions, mate. . .I guess we're all going to have to wait for an inbox review to really find out for sure though, eh?

As you all probably know I get really crazy about all the Bismarck kits there are in the world. That said I guess the Germans have every right to come out with a really great model of the ship that was really the pride of their navy. Hope this one is the best Bismarck ever made.

Sorry, I just can't get excited about any Bismarck kit any scale, just like I am weary of 35th new Tiger, Sherman, or Abrams kits. I know this is the perpetual whine. I realize that overall, there is much to be thankful for over the past 4 years, and with what is in the works is eqally as exciting.

I am actually quite excited, although I already have the Tamiya kit and all the WEM accessories for it in my stash. I wonder if I should build this one as the Tirpitz now....

I too share your enthusiasm, Rodge!
No matter how many kits of the same subject type on the market, I always get excited when that "new" one comes out! Let's hope that this IS the best Bismarck, yet!
Keep Modeling,
