Hi all been doing some research and much as I hate PE I can see how the railings would look better with pe I can't find warspite premium ed anywhere they all seem to be out of stock but the premium ed is £79.99 if I buy the pe for the standard kit which is £39.99 the pe is £79.25 that's £79.25 and that's no wooden decking or brass gun barrels. I would only use the railings as I hate thevstuff why is the pe bought separately almost as dear as the whole kit. Needless to say I am sticking with the standard model.

Ken check out eduard pe they do different stiles of rail for 1/350 battleships I got some from eBay cost about £7 , the pe for warspite at the ridiculous price of £80 just replaces the plastic parts in the kit :)
 
Thread owner
Well white ensign want £79.75 for them but I have found 1/350 scale 3 bar rails from eduard for £8.40 from model dockyard can anyone confirm warspite has 3 bar and not 4 bar rails.
 
Thread owner
well here is where I am on this build now, don't really know what colours to do the 1/350 bombers as far as i can find they were either dk grey on the top and light underneath or all black, I've done the little Stukas the colours on the 1/72 kit I've got.

Looking good Ken. The bombers would be wearing a scheme similar to the Stukas I would think.

Hi all well I'm getting excited I've ordered the Warspite (swmbo says I can't have it till my birthday though(we'll see)) i've ordered the dx detail pack for it as well that way I get the wooden decking and the PE rails + the metal gun barrels for about the same price as the premium edition.
 
Be car with the railings on the this one Ken , there very flimsy

They are pre bent so you can go around a section like the boat deck with one piece only thing is they tend to flop around ant this can be easily broken, I found it easier to brake them off into sections and fit them piece by piece

Oh and it's best to get a gel superglue:)
 
Thread owner
Thanks for the advise Alan I will remember that although the PE is not the one which comes with the kit so maybe its not so fragile(hope so anyway)
 
this is coming along great Ken, real starting to look good, i,m liking it, ;)

have fun painting the wee figures lol, :rolleyes:
