The KA DX set arrived yesterday, having paid my dues to the Customs.
I now have another 2000+ parts to add to the BismarckBlink Blink. I'll leave the review to Jase, with just one observation the Decals are complete unlike the picture.

Just a thought guys, if you can find an Issue 135 on eBay of the Hachette Bismarck series, I believe it contains a 1/200 overhead/side view plan of their Bismarck which might be a useful reference..

Thanks Jase, that would be really great.

By the way, I tried a dry fit of the DX wooden main deck today, it's absolutely stunning with every little Teak Plank perfectly reproduced and a perfect fit. They've even included optional wood planking to cover the metal under the Bow Anchor Chains that Trumpeter got wrong.ThumpUp ThumpUp ThumpUp
