Revell 1/350 Bismarck (round two)

[peterairfix]

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.[ATTACH]305271[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305272[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305273[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305274[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305275[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305277[/ATTACH]

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.[ATTACH]305388[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305389[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305391[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305392[/ATTACH]

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 do[ATTACH]305555[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305556[/ATTACH]

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.[ATTACH]305608[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305609[/ATTACH]
