There was this too, the translation says 'Bismarck Screw Protection Kit', something to fit near the propellers I guess  http://www.modellschlachtschiff...dPosition=1&P_ID=260

Today is the 74th Anniversary of the Launch of Bismarck (see in this day in military History, in general chat) “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Jase, Got the MK1 DX upgrade, Trumpeter upgrade & a set of brass props. Think I may have a few spare gun barrels!  I still can't get over the sheer size of the kit, the engineering that must have gone into it is outstanding. Now have to find room to build her! Wilfy

Wilfy Yes I have not got the Trumpeter upgrade because there is gun barrels in the MK1 DX upgrade. Going to asses that and take a view on what else I may need like brass screws maybe. I should get my upgrade set this week coming recon I am about 3 to 4 weeks of starting. Not looking forward to filling the countersink in the Hull!! Know what you mean I have space to build but its where you put it when its not on the desk? I was thinking of puting some brackets on the wall to rest the hull on when not on the desk - just need to get some flowers and chat t the wife  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Following link is for Bismarck paints. These paints are extremely good quality I have used them for years and matched to original chips https://www.whiteensignm...Colours/20/#.USae06W-REJ“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Jase, Think the Trumpeter upgrade is overkill if you have the MK 1, but may come in usefull. Notice Eduard have now released upgrades for the lifeboats & railings. http://www.eduard.com/st...-1-lifeboats-1-200.html

Thanks for the link on paint info, very useful. When are you thinking of making a start? I was going to try this week, but not happened, think I'm a few weeks off yet! Wilfy

Thanks for links will look at these tonight. I am waiting for my upgrade pack which i have been promised will be with me friday next week and I want to get my Hood finished so i think probably 2 weeks off. Also the superstructure paint is out of stock at WEM orderd my other paints last night so should be able to crack on with filling and preping the hull “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

[quote=Wilfy the Sea Dog]Hi Jase, Got the MK1 DX upgrade, Trumpeter upgrade Hi Wilfy, Could you do me a favour could you look at the following link and let me know how the wood deck compares to the one in the MK1 DX upgrade pack. Particularly interested in the stern if the smoke generator covers are on the MK1 set. (two small circles at very rear of stern. Big thanks in advance J http://artwox.com/index.php?document_srl=7541“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
