Looking on facebook there is a guy building a partwork of the Tirpitz from Deag. and I was wondering if there is any plan for this to come to UK.

There is not a lot of difference between the two sister ships so would be an easy mod for DeAg to do.

very interesting

There are no plans to bring Tirpitz to the UK but never say never.

In actual fact there are many differences between the two Sister ships - For starters Tirpitz was approx 3m longer and had it's cranes positioned on the main deck and torpedo launchers on both sides just aft of the Arado rails and numerous other differences such as the locations of the Flak guns and types.

Thats interesting when I built the two ships as Tamika kits, the old ones they were the same length, I do recall the cranes on the deck and the deck being a different shape plus some additional flack
