Amazing job !! THANKS ! I built the Bismark model back in he 70's, a lot less care to detail as you have done. A so called friend saw it and decided to do a book report on the Bismark for a class project. He did his report,THEN came to me wanting to use the model for his class project. I was hesitent but allowed him to take it. A week later, there was a bag addressed to me at my parents side porch. Opening the bag, my Bismark model was in many broken parts. That was my last model ever. Now, I am old guy but your video has encouraged me to give it another go. Fast forward to now days and we have better glues, paints, air guns "cheap," but most of all, we have EXCELLENT youtube tutorials for great ideas and posibilities !! Thanks again !!

I'm looking at this kit right now. It's a nice touch that Tamiya has included the option to depict her after the stripes and false bow and stern were painted over. Nearly every other kit only has her with the stripes. Which look great, but are a pain to do on the superstructure.

How can Tamiya include or exclude the option to depict her in any particular way? I don't understand your assertion because the paint scheme is always left up to the builder. You are not locked-in with what Tamiya wants.....

He was on the K.G.V .when the BISMARK went down. The order was that ALL HANDS on the K.G.V. were to stay at their station. Only a hand full of sailers and officers were allowed to watch the BISMARK......sink.

I have this kit, and an Eduard PE set, and Aber L11 barrel set. And I feel totally overwhelmed. I have not put a kit together since my early 20's and I am 62 years old. But seeing all the photos of this kit makes me want to give it a shot. But I am basically starting over again. Plus in my day there was no PE. This is what scares me the most. Looks very complicated and difficult to work with. But I also am in no hurry. I plan to weather covid and this winter working on it. I don't know anything about washes and 'marbling' but I'll learn. I have a Badger airbrush, but I need a compressor. I need a lot of stuff, but I can get started doing the basic stuff until I get everything. Thanks for an informative video. Keep them coming!

Hi George, modeling techniques, accessories and tools sure have advanced since the hobby began and certainly has exploded in the last couple of decades. PE can be a challenge, but after getting your feet wet - it gets a little easier, so stick with it. I consider it essential for ship models myself. If you have the patience, you can easily pick up on the detailing techniques and amaze yourself with each new build. Good Luck and have great fun! 😄

Inspiring stuff! I believe the current theory on Bismarck's crippling torpedo hit was that it caused a stern collapse, similar to that encountered on Prinz Eugen, Lutzow and Scharnhorst. A weak spot on German ships it seems.

it was a torpedo stike on the rudder that caused her to slow down - at one stage heading towards the British fleet I would like to point out that she destroyed the Hood with one salvo - took the British the entire Home and |Mediterranean fleet to destroy her. Without that lucky hit from an incredibly brave torpedo strike by aircraft she would have got to Breast. Prince Eugean got there and was destroyed after the war Incidentally during the first world war the British lost three capital ships and the Admiral sdaid what is wrong with our bloddy ships

@@richardsimmons6470 "Something wrong with our bloody ships today Chatfield, turn two points toward the enemy". Admiral Beatty. The lucky torpedo strike was the theory before so many Kriegsmarine ships were found with their sterns hanging off. That's why I favour the stern weakness hypothesis. Once is bad luck, twice, a bad coincidence. Three times and more? Thats a bad habit.

Max, Yes, I found the video to be very entertaining and educational as are all of your videos. The F-14 fly by was the cherry on top! Regarding the Nazi symbols, your note "History... It is what it is" is all that needs to be said and in fact, should not need to be said at all. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! Next time i would like to see you build a plane from WW2 like the spitfire or the bf109. My personal favourite plane is the fw190d "longnose dora". I have the eduard profipack of the fw-190 d9 in my stash but i dont want to start it because i have just recently gotten my airbrush and i need to improve my skills before trying it

Hi bodek, both excellent suggestions! Maybe a dual build would be a great way to present these famous warbirds together, what do you think?

Just recently viewed documentaries on the fight & search for these ships. The Tamiya kit is a nice one. I have the Enterprise ahead of me to build. What size! Almost too big to airbrush easily.Nice info. Good job with the details.

@MaxAfterburner 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Daniel! Just doing the red hull on the Bismarck took quite a long airbrush session. I can't imagine what you'll face once you get to the Enterprise!

@@MaxAfterburner Yeah, I got a little anxiety looking forward to that. I have photo etch detail & crew members for it also. I plan to light the hanger bays. I was on it briefly in 78'.Boarded her from the fantail from my boat, the Tautog. Little did I know at the time I was right under the massive fire & bomb damage she went through back in 69' Almost the same situation that occurred on the Forrestal in 67'. I was on a sub & we were port of call at Kenya Africa. Mombasa to be exact. Good times. Wonderful memory. The Bismarck story is one of the most intriguing from WW2. That & the lengths the British went through to get the Tirpitz also. Thanks for posting the build.

I gotta say, I wasn’t excited for this one as I like aircraft better than ships, but the history hit all the high points and I enjoyed watching all the different techniques that you wouldn’t use on an aircraft (like the wood). Another excellent video!

The weathering really pulled it together, and your rigging work is spectacular. The only criticisms I would even give is the fuzzy masking around the swastika, and the not very smooth curve of the false bow wave.

I bought the revel bismarck 1/350 last year im strugling with paint work since it wont stick right (i did clean it) the stickers are horrible and you see the paint through the stickers. This video did help to get me excited again on starting over, but also got me scared on seeing how much work i got myself into with the PE parts that i ordered with it. Edit: Also my brother in christ that looks insane

@MaxAfterburner Жыл бұрын

Hi Milsolen, thanks. My Bismarck certainly is not the best out there, but I was happy with the overall result personally. PE really adds to ship kits and I feel it is a must for that genre. A lot of work, but it really highlights the model. 😎 Good luck with yours!

I’ve actually build this exact model. But you did so much better than me. I didn’t bother to paint it or use photo etched parts. It’s just a blank gray ship sitting on a shelf. It’s still a great model though.
