Build Log for Bismarck 1/200 Radio Control Model
This will be a different type Trumpeter 1/200 kit build.
This Bismarck will be a working model. By working I mean that the anchor will drop, the guns will train and elevation with smoke, Radar turn, on and on, I will make a list later, the third list. The hull will be reconstructed to scale as much as possible. A list will follow on what I will be doing on the hull, this will be the first list.
I will be using the Arduino for the guns and will be using parts from the Hachette Bismarck kit as well. My kit will be here at the end of June, so I am still researching the build. I will include a reference list as well; this will be the second list. And hope to post this and get some comments on my build.
Thank you all for any help

Here are a few items that will needs to be reconstructed on the hull.
1) Port holes need to be worked over and the coaming and non-coaming port holes must be added.
2) Bottom needs to be redone.
3) The keel reconstruction
4) The MES Cable
5) Drain Opening at the stern
6) Smoke generator holes on stern and stem
7) Dock keels reworked
8) Riveters need to be corrected
9) GHG install on Port and starboard sides
10) Schallanlager or S-Anlage on sides and bottom of stem
11) Torpedo longitudinal bulkhead(need to research this more)
12) the armour belt thickness is too thin
13) center bow anchor hole incorrect position
