    Pocket battle ship Tirpitz 1\2000

    Yes you did hear me correctly I got this one from the works and thy do a HMS hood but it seems to be impossible to find.
    To show how small it is I have popped in a AA battery for scale.[ATTACH]324286[/ATTACH][ATTACH]324287[/ATTACH]

      Wow that is a small one Peter, nice to have a display stand included in the kit.:smiling:
      Good luck with the painting of all the small bits.

              Hi Peter like the guys say its v-small my friend buys them in this scale I think or they may be a bit bigger an he's fitted them in a cabinet in his living room with light's over the top so they can be seen but back to your model wow you must have good eye sight. An must admit I found it hard on the old eyeballs building my Nimitz in 1/144 scale that the reason I have gone up to 1/72 scale with my hms Norfolk. but back to your build I will be following to see how she comes up as ships an aircraft are my main hobby likes chris

                  Time to dig up this one I had to buy another kit as carpet monster has taken a few parts but here's how it looks I found out it does come with the aircraft it will look better after a coat of Matt.
