This is a magnificent model but......
Check out the admiral's bridge windows. The front looks good but the sides should have 4 windows, not three.
I can't speak or write German so someone who can should let this guy know.

Well, I'm pretty sure they all speak a bit of English

Bismarck 1:50 after 726 days!
After 726 days a 1:50 Bismarck has been finished. Follow the construction sequence here: http://forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/index. ... icseen#new
The builder states the following in last posting:
Finally. On Sunday the Bismarck leaves my workshop as the last commissioned model order [ever? UR]. Unfortunately my camera broke during Christmas, but the fellow who is picking the model up will do that.
It was a very demanding model and I am happy that the giant will soon be gone.
It required a lot of patience and sometimes grief and almost destroyed my marriage, but all was successfully endured.
Here are the dimensions once more:
Length 5.04 m
Width: 0.72 m
Height 1.15 m
Weight ca 200 kg
Functional parts:
Lights, smoke, fog horn [apparently some planned functions were omitted: sirene, turning turrets and screws. UR]
Material: wood, aluminum, brass, plastic,
Composition: 2 hull halves, complete superstructure.
Total construction time: 726 Tage

Re: Bismarck 1:50 after 726 days!
Wow. Unfortunately (for me) I can't read German and it isn't obvious to me where the photos are. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough?
