Hi Mick.. Great choice in kit. I chose USS Iowa (same kit with differences as would be). Detail is amazing. Instructions not the best though. It will be a while until I get mine started gotta finish my HMS Hood but will keep watch on yours. Are u doing a Out of box build or are you buying upgrades. You may have seen I got the Pontos upgrade kit for mine but Mk1.designs do one too. Expensive but well worth the detail added. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
