Here is some of that Eduard PE and shots of the rangefinders, "with and without".

Very cool, thanks for pointing it out. I knew Revell's kit was much better than people realised. :) Considering to do their Tirpitz too one day.

Your detail and accurate work is to be commended as previous members have mentioned.
Nice job on the rear "open" rangefinders too.

I found that WEM's railings seem to be some of the finest around.

Nino

Thanks for this! I am not even sure what you mean about open range finders, on turrets you mean? This is PE indeed. :)

I have much info it, if you have questions that might aid you in research shoot away. If you want the battle ready ship, as I made you wanna fold railings on main deck. I didnt fold railings only because I like to show them as is. However if I build Prinz Eugen I will fold the railings. :)

Thanks, the railings were from Eduard and were quite fine. On Mikasa build I actually gave railing a black wash, and then wiped off the excess. It made them visiually even thinner, so I might repeat this on future builds.

A kit I finished last year, full hull Revell 1/700 offering with Eduard's PE and barrel barrels from Aber. Rigging Modelkasten wire.

This was my first battleship build, with PE and all and as such a nice learning experience. It could really have used brass masts though but back then I had no idea this was a viable option - even scratch building...

My model (top) vs one of the best ones I know and it was my inspiration really for building the 1/700 scale (Peter's is 1/350). The pic lowest is the reference I used for painting from a Asmussen and Leon book.
