Thanks. I hope you enjoy it! Yes it takes months to complete but it is so satisfied.

The Tamiya kit is quite decent but it shows the age. The Revell is a little better in my opinion but the split half hull needs a lot of work. But I think the king of bismark kits goes to the 1/200 Trumpeter. I heard a lot of good things. I just wish I had the space to put it when finish.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners I seen the Revell Bismarck and the proprietor let me see inside the box Nah!.. each to their own i suppose! I have the labour of love with the !/200 ahead of me just trying to coax the wife to put it on the mantlepiece when its built 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Yeah I guess. Good luck displaying it on the mantlepiece. My wife would never approve 😒

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners they never do mate! I bought a Bf109 E framed print from Elvington RAF Base near York back in 2004 I got it for £200 where do think you are putting that she says Typical !!.... it ended up being sold back to them!

@@davidcurrie8564 🤣 yeah typical.

Lesson learned to keep away from these primers. Yeah there are some great alternatives but I went for the cheap. The liguid I used, is actually a "sprue goo". You can make it yourself by just cut off small pieces of sprue leftovers into tamiya extra thin. The plastic is dissolved and basically you have a liquid plastic. It is so handy you should try it. I use empty Tamiya cement bottles for storing and you can use the little brush as an applicator.

Thanks. The 3 large blobs are plastic goo made by melting sprues on a vase with a 100% acetone. I put them to increase the weight of the model and rigidness of the joint but in some places the acetone ate through the plastic and I would not recommend it.

Yes, you are right! Other people noticed that as well and I correct it immediately. Check the second part 😉

One tip; Before sanding let putty dry at least after 48 hours for harder so will you get best results for a smooth and clean surface, don't hurry up in that process..get slow for better...!.GOOD LUCK bro @@GeorgeModellingforBeginners

Yeah you are right of course but when I am in the mood to do some modelling I rush it through. Truth is that no one will turn over the ship and look at the seemline so all the hard work it is really a waste :(

As you can imagine it was stressfull especially the long strips of the waterline. Some decals broke in the process but luckilly it is barelly noticable. Everything went alright at the end but I would prefer to mask and spray the wateline if I had the option.

By mistake. I fixed it afterwards.
