Hi All, Here is the start of my build of DKM Tirpitz. The kit is good and the accessories made by Pontos are great to. I will be doing a little bit of changing the kit if I see it being incorrect and noticeable. Otherwise it will be as per instructions plus PE.

I made a start early by joining the hull sides together last week so had time to dry out. I have now looked at the hull detail and started cleaning up what i can and replacing some of it. I have corrected the bow as the kit hull is Bismark mould. The curve is different on the Tirpitz. Also will be replacing the Ladders. I have installed nuts on the inside ready for pedestals when i get some. Waiting for post man to bring me my paints as well today. I invested on all the weathering sets too. Pics when they arrive.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I ordered some Mk1 portholes and the eduard set as it has extra bits the Pontos set didn't. I have marked off the deck to remove the furniture ready for replacing. I have had a go at making the blast bags with milliput. Very tricky but look better than none there. I then started to drill the hull with 0.3mm drill for the steps on the side.
