discussion Revell 1/350 Bismarck (round two)

Yes this will be a second go as my first one didn't turn out as expected but this time I have the full PE set witch will take the parts count to about 1000 pieces.
Wish me luck.View attachment 305271View attachment 305272View attachment 305273View attachment 305274View attachment 305275View attachment 305277

Good luck sir, that's an awful lot of pe parts.

Now that looks like a challenge, you’ve even got little matelots......

Time for a Start first up is the hull I have the two halves together and the area around the prop shaft needed filling and sanding and smoothing down
And the rudders are fitted all is ready for masking and the first coat of paint.View attachment 305388View attachment 305389View attachment 305391View attachment 305392

Hi Peter
Looks a long and intricate build but the end result will be a stunning model.

Had a go at doing one of the main turrets and all the PE and to give you an idea how small some pieces are the small hand holds measure 2mm by 1mm.
Only three more to doView attachment 305555View attachment 305556

Wishing you the best of luck Peter, this build is going to be awsome, the enjoyment you get out of it will be superb.

Steve.

The four main turrets are finished and most of the small pe won't be used as it's far too small for me.
And I have drilled out the gun barrels to give a bit more detail.
Plus the deck has got some colour.View attachment 305608View attachment 305609
