It's only going to be issue 17 to 20 for the Vicky, so I have a clean cut, then the Bismarck will get her under clothes.

Had to tear off half the planks and reinstall as the instructions neglect mentioning tapering and chamfering the planks and my guess "Well, maybe I don't need to then" turned out to be a wrong guess. Anyway, issue 12 is done featuring more planking as well as installation of supports in the stern and the deck structure

Yeah, Occre train kit. They want me cut and bend pipes from 1,5mm diameter brass wire now. Should have posted a warning: "Notice: Assembling this kit may require buying a dozen wire cutters".

Issue 13 Extended first planking to the bow and stern. The bow in particular isn't very easy to do as it has got some rather complex curves. Took some yelling and screaming to cow the planks into submitting into place and have them stay there.

Yelling and screaming is better than bouncing it off a wall. LOL Anyway the yelling and screaming seams to be producing the goods as it looks spot on. WTG Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Fun fact: Next issues planks go on like warm butter on toast. Looks like this was just a problem with this specific pack on planks. Should have issue 14 done by tomorrow already

Or maybe two days later. Had to build the building slip for the Royal first. Issue 14 After extending the first planking in the mid ship to the hull bottom, the Bismarck is now 10% done. The resin part in the stern is only placed to to test fit.

Yeah, the build between Roma and Bismarck seems to be really similar.

More progress incoming then. With issue 15 more first planking is done of course. This  was the bane of my existence, but with patience I finally got the planks to submit. The hull bottom was pure bliss after that  Remaining holes will be closed in the next phase, then we start decking the deck.
