Will be stunning once Pontos release their PE & wooden deck upgrade for it, just look at what they did for the Missouri

What a great kit and agree it will be stunning once Pontos are finished with it. I had the Pontos set for my Yamato and also have the Pontos advanced set for my Trumpy Bismarck, they are undoubtely the best PE sets in my opinion for any ship builds.

That`s going to make a stunning model, but will be a definite WOW with the upgrade set like that on the Missouri. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Life colour also do a paint set, think you may need a couple for something this size, I haven't tried life colour,paints myself yet but they get fantastic reviews, I have two each of two different sets for my 1/200 Teumpy Bismarck http://www.snmstuff.co.u...proach-early-war-set-1/
