Looking at that you can see how PE can really create detail not possible with injection moulded plastic. Looks great.
Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

Now playing with the main plane hanger, cut of all the various boat cradles and supports, also moulded on hanger door. Started to fit the pe cradles.
Not yet added the front ones, bit of experimenting. The first two have used pva to hold the middle connection, then used a looper to wick pe. The back set have used slow ca on all the connections before fitting.
hanger door has been attached with pva, next the looper.

Thank you Brian, appreciated
Been cutting off stuff on the two rear superstructure platforms.
Before and after
also added pe hatches,, need to think ( dangerous) what's next? Need to alter the wood deck for the top section and add railings etc. So add railings then primer and paint then wood deck??
Never cut and removed stuff like this before! But actually enjoying it.

Very nice work so far Bob
You're doing a fine job. All that cutting stuff off and sticking PE on, looking very neat and tidy.
Many thanks Joe, bit by bit and lots of bits lol
Hi Jim
Glad for all the practice, especially playing with many different glues! Found the glue looper very useful
Hi Richard, in another universe I called myself Bob the stug! Had a lot of stug kits, big library of stug books, but over the last yr sold the lot. So instead fleet of ships in the attic fleet and a library on battleships!
Thanks for the kind words
Onwards with the joys of PE
a big difference between tirpitz and bismarck was a structure between the bridge and the conning tower. Took some bending, just a test fit
not bad with room for improvement, but pleased with progress
