LoL ;D Looks like the hull is going well. Think you could do with the 15" guns though. Oh and watch out for the heat ray from that tripod in your 1st picture, think it could incinerate the Bismarck. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to the forum Griffin, looks like your doing a great job!
I like the Tiger tank, is that the Tamiya 1/35 scale? I've got enough Tigers, panthers and Mark IV's to make up a battalion!

Hi Griffin, any other models you might want to post pics of would be great, there is a special place for them, you can create a thread for them in 'Other Models'

Griffin, the main reason that the supplied rudders are the size of ping pong bats is because the R/C grear has only one speed controller, meaning the props will just push forward or backwards together.
If you had two speed contollers, one for each motor, then the motors could be used to help control the ship, e.g. turn to port and the post engine slows and the starboard stays fast, turning the boat tighter.
Have a look through the 'German R/C Gear' thread in 'Radio Control'. Very informative.

S'ok Griffin, we all feel like that most of the time!
The supplied gear all looks very nice, Graupner by and large. Top quality.
The props a a bit different, many of us have splashed out on brass props, I got mine from Sitek Props (check out my build diary), but am not sure he is still doing them. Markus says that he can get them from Lasseks, but best get the details from Markus himself. What size prop shafts have you been supplied with? M4, M3 or M2?
I am not sure your boat would steer with scale rudders....maybe some one else might know? I got my rudders from Markus along with the whole Two motor set up he is offering to supply.

I'm going 3 motor, getting my parts out here as far too expensive to order from Germany, (due to not working right now). Except for maybe just the rudders and propshatfs + brass propellors, but only if I can't find them out here.
