Here's an interesting new addition to Burkhardt Masch of BMK's line of precision made ship model accessories, a joint effort between himself and german modeler Matthias Groß (landser at marinewerft.de), we now present, the 1/350 scale, turned brass ships bell!

Spawned from a very interesting, WIP build going on in the forums at Germany based modeling site marinewerft.de, comes a new aftermarket product from the precision lathes of Burkhardt Masch, BMK.

This WIP build is of Revell Models, 1/350 scale SMS Emden, and the full thread can be seen here.

Mathius needed an accurate ships bell for his build, and working together, this new product was born...the bell itself is turned brass, 1/350 scale, and has been made to the design specific of the Emden, but the bell could be used on many other vessels of the same scale, that exhibit the same style of bell.

Presently, the bell can be ordered from BMK direct, and soon will be available from our mate Harry Abbott, Battlefleet Models, as Harry will be offering them very soon in his catalog as well...re-sale price from Battlefleet Models will be $1.00 USD.

If you're looking for an excellent turned brass ball for your 1/350 scale build, then look no further, mates!

those are gorgeous... will they run out of them? I am waiting for a bit to make a list of AM goodies to place one order at once. Also waiting for my wife to start her new job so I can start spending hobby money again!

No problem about running out. I have plenty on the way and Burkhardt will always do a special run.
