Hi People, Just received a set of turned gun barrels from Poland, from this link :- www.gpm.pl/eng/index.php?akcja=produkt&edycja=101 200-1 scale and made for the Bismarck They are excellent I think. There are:- 8 main gun barrels turned from Ali and have drilled out barrels. 12 smaller gun barrels from brass with drilled barrels 16 still smaller barrels from brass again drilled 16 smaller still from brass not drilled as these are only about 1/32 in diameter & 18 tiny barrels again from brass They certainly seem better than the hachette offerings and at about £10.00 a set they are a real bargin. postage cost is a little high but I still think they are worth it . Not sure where they all go yet as will not start building till I have all the issues and I am behind as it is!! waiting for all the mistakes to be made by others before I start!! Only just finished the Titanic and made the case (both for the model and to the memsahib as to were to put it!!) Thanks Mark for your excellent web pages both for Titanic and the Bismarck. Best regards to all John

Hello Achtung ( or should I say gutten tag?) I had a similair problem with registration which all seemed to vanish once I had placed an order or maybe there is some delay between here & poland? Once the order was placed and paid for via PayPal there was no problem and the barrels came within 3 days. I sent them an email saying that I would recommend them (translated into Polish via google translator) I had a look this evening at the Hachette barrels and I have to say that the Polish ones are far superior. Also purchased the book 'Anatomy of a ship...Bismarck' and find that the GPM barrels are really very accurate. Hope you finally get throught to them . You could try emailing on biuro@gpm.pl and address to Grzegorz Pomorski who seems to get things done. Best regards John

Just as a matter of interest to all ....GPM at www.gpm.pl/eng/index.php do several 200 scale bits & bobs for the Bismarck. I just had another look. apart from the gun barrels there are laser cut frames, etched brass bits and other stuff. My logon seems to still work OK so not sure why Achtung is unable to register...suggest you try again or email direct. regards again John

I can try and register and order 2 sets. Does anybody else (in the UK) want a set while I'm at it ? We'll just split the cost of the International postage.

Dear, dear Mark, (I am very polite here ) I am having the same problems as Chill, so hopefully I can get into the pool even if I am non-UK based. Pleeeaaassse !!!!!! (I am now kneeling and folding my hands ) I would be interested in one set of the gun barrels for Admiral Hipper (same as used on Prinz Eugen = my next project) www.gpm.pl/eng/index.php?akcja=produkt&edycja=3147I'll of course pay extra for postage from you to Australia. (I can make an "inside EU" transfer to your bank account, so no fees). I used Gomix (GPM) gun barrels for Richelieu, and the quality was really good. The main gun barrels were aluminium and the other barrels brass. Only the aluminium barrels needed a bit of sanding.

No Problem Poul. I only said UK only as it was an effort to save postage. However, if you're desperate I'm more than happy to help out.

Thanks Mark. I'm definitely in for the Admiral Hipper gun barrels. (See link in my previous post). You cannot complain about the quality of the barrels from GPM, but the more people to share the postage the better. Those companies with e-shops tend to be more and more greedy with p&h these days.
