FATAL ERROR....!! should have read roberts' superb translated instructions BEFORE applying the brass portholes... they're intended for the portholes which had a real window, not for the ones with an eyelet only, that's why only 200 pieces were incuded anyway, removing 200 pieces with a heated drill bit was less work than applying 1100 pieces...

OOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!! Dont worry look on the brighter side - you didnt really want to fit all those brass eyelets anyway did you? Am quite surer you will overcome this setback and your model will be great!

FATAL ERROR....!! should have read roberts' superb translated instructions BEFORE applying the brass portholes... I knew something was going wrong there! Your build seemed going faster than my translation!!! I'm sure you'll fix that little inconvenience in less time it needs to be said... or written.

Absolutely Amazing!
The model really comes to life once the hull is painted - so when are the sea trials?
Have you heard any further news on the release of the BIG Bismarck?

Have you heard any further news on the release of the BIG Bismarck? the sea trial will be done as soon as all portholes are sealed, hope the missing prop will be delivered this week big bissy is still announced for december - but i'm not sure if they manage to keep their promise this time... ;D

How did you keep the paint out of the portholes? nm just in case you weren't joking - all holes will be re-drilled to get rid of the paint inside...
