Issue 20 Here we get another section of the hull,this is attached to the section previously built,then this is attached to the hull previously built. I left the 2 couplers slightly loose when fixing first to the hull to allow movement to get everything in line before doing up all 4 screws.cheers mick.  mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,

Issue 21 Here we get first bit of forward superstructure and lots of bits to attach to it , first screw the bit of deck on,then glue the protective walls on, then 2 small skylights inside of these, then 4 barrelled containners in front of the walls, pay attention to the direction of detail on these, then it's rain guards doors and lockers to the side. Best to cut these off one at a time, so don't mix them up, again attention is needed to get these the right way around,I was going to drill out the portholes but the plastic behind is in the way,so elected to paint them black , I'll drop bit of clear pva in these later to make them look glazed,just not got any at the mo .

Mick Had forgotton you were doing this one as well. You are certainly well ahead on yours. I think you are getting close to a couple of deck parts i will be interested to see. From ehat i can make out in the advance pictures on the German site they look a little under par with the rest of things. Might be my eyes but interested to see what you and Gray make of them. Its the parts 29-02 and 29-03 you can see here in issue 29 https://bismarck-bauen.d.../06/29-Bauanleitung.pdf
Think its supposed to represent the non slip lino type material. tony Happy Modelling

Cannot disagree with you on that Mick. I am only at issue 14 but now their earlier delivery issues appear to have been sorted i am tempted to make a start this weekend. Depends if i get a set of countach parts though as that was charged a few days ago. Tony Happy Modelling
