This is a question for someone who has used wood decks on models. I have a problem that I have really been struggling with. I have a deluxe kit on order and it includes a wood deck. I am going to paint my Bismarck with the stripes which go up the superstructure. Are these wood decks added AFTER the superstructure is built as an assembly, or are they added AS you build it? I hope I am wording this question properly, because if the wood decks are attached AS it is being built then I have ALOT of masking work ahead to protect those decks and I cannot build these assemblies until the kit arrives. But if they can be applied after the superstructure is built and painted......well.....that would be nice. :big_grin:

I have not used the Artwox deck, but I have heard from Brandon at freetime hobbies, that it is a beautiful deck. Hes pretty sharp, I think you'll be happy with it.

Hallo,

i have found some Errors that are not documented here.

In the starboard forward area there are 3 missing portholes, and the Otter is on a wrong position.

I have three false(closed) port holes where those three should be on my kit. Did you accidentally shave them off when removing other items, and just forget to mark them? or were they simply not ever there?

now as you mentioned it :Oops_1: i had a look at my old superstrukture and there are 3 closed Portholes. During the cleaning Process I must have them removed without marking. Sorry my fault.
