                Sorry I'm late in Peter.
                Had a read through from the start, that's some build and looking really good now. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
                Admire your work on the PE, is that all soldered work. ?

                  Just good old super glue as it's been designed to be slotted together

                    Finally received my missing parts for forward superstructure and I have fitted them in their respective places ready to start cladding them in pe.
                    And I have finished the main mast. Click image for larger version

                      Coming along nicely Peter. This will be an impressive beast when complete. I have the Trumpeter 1/200 Bismarck so I watch this with interest. Great work so far and good luck with the rest of the build.
                      Cheers
                      Paul

                        Hi Peter
                        This is really starting to look the part now. Well done with the PE. Do you have all the parts you need yet?
                        Jim

                          Not yet as it's a part work series and it's from 2007 so some are harder to get especially when you get into the 100s
