1)Proper polished brass propellers and if possible some metal shafts.In that scale most people i imagine they will go for a full hull museum style display so brass propellers is a must.
2)Some new brass pedestals specially for this size about 2 inches high and as minimalistic in shape as possible. Make sure the screw thread is of a European standard , and not some obscure American standard , so we can find and fit longer screws if needed.Even in the States they have a hard time to find some of their own proper screws when they need them.
3)A proper brass nameplate .Ill be having one made custom for mine , but i guess a lot of people will find it handy to include one as well.I think this should become a trend for you as you supply the pedestals already in your sets.These are items that have to do with the display of a full hull model and should be used both .And i dont mean a cheap one like Lion Roar sets for 1/700 kits.These are ok for general purposes but not for the collector or someone serious about displaying their kits.Real thick brass please.
4)Stencils for those who want to paint the swastikas on the deck.Decals wont cut it at that scale.
5 A couple of brass shells for the main guns?The extra turret with its interior begs for some of these.
I assume everything else will be covered by your usual high quality work .These are really some points that although not essential , they will add an extra touch of museum quality to an otherwise plastic model.As this set due to its sheer size wont be cheap - lets not kid ourselves here- we might as well get the full monty .
If i think of something else i will be posting it.
All these are some points that i would like to have for my Arizona 1/200 .Unfortunately i dont so i have to improvise , but at least you have the time and resources to fix that problem for the 1/200 Bismarck.
Good luck.
Thank you for your points.
1-2. Today I've checked the Screw of Kit and metal screws packed in trumpter's accessory set.
I think Plastic Screw is better than White metal's
And plastick Screw of this bismarck is quite well designed and thin.
However there may be brass screw but the shape is not so good though these are thin.
I've contacted some Metal screw manufacturers but the supplying price is too high...
But I will try to find more for better Metal screws.
And as for the shaft this may be possible.
I will check the Kit shaft again.
3. Name plate is also good idea especially for this big project.
4. Masking sheet for Swastika will be included..
5. Shell: well may be some canl be included as it is easy work.
I wil to try to put some more if possible not to take much time in producing.
Thank you
