Man, for not being a boat guy and sounding so disappointed at the end, you really made the most of what you had. Tied in some good humor too. I certainly enjoyed the video and the naval facts

For a cheap kit you did a pretty good job! Bravo Zulu!!

When I was a kid, I got a Bismarck model that must have been from the same manufacturer. I put way less effort into it than you did (didn't bother painting it like most of my models), but I remember observing some of the same things that you did, such as having to scrape away part of the hull to allow the propeller to turn and noticing that the box photo showed a completely different model than what was in the box.

Wow
