Are these to be OTB builds or can we enhance them with photo etch?

I looked at this one too, but I need lots more practise before I could even begin to cope with that camo scheme!

Good choice, the Tamiya one is rubbish.

I have opened a forum in the builds section so you can open your thread and post the photos of box art, sprues etc.


If I have missed any names in the intro, sorry, not intentional, but purely due to not seeing it in the three pages of posts!

[Guest]

apart from the scale being 1:350 and a battle ship is there any other restrictions of models used

The new Tamiya is supposed to be better but it is a fair old price compared to the old one.

I didn't realise there was a new one.  I'll have to have a look

I am beginning to doubt myself on this.  When I started looking for a Bismarck some time ago, I was told to go with Revell as the Tamiya was not as good.  Someone else mentioned the new Tamiya is an improvement but I never followed it up.  Looking around, I cannot find anything about it so I may have mislead you, sorry.
