Good work Dietrich!

[Dietrich]

Still plotting along. I am really getting there. "He" takes time and patience but rewards you with extremely good looks (from a pure engineering poitn of view!)

[boomstick68]

That is some very fine work.

Looking very nice!. Germany really was on the top of the game when it came to weapons of WWII.. in ALL theathers.

hi Dietrich nice build can you show it in Germany with the flag on the bow Bill.....

[Dietrich]

I could not show it in Germany with the flag on bow and stern because the political opinion is that if somebody sees it, he or she turns immediately into a Nazi. Fortunately this medically unsupported theory has no meaning outside of Germany - I live in the United States and there it is no problem at all. As a writer of books about orders and medals of the Third Reich and a historian I learned that denying or covering up history has no effect at all other than making the "cover uppers" look very stupid, especially in the age of the Internet! :)

gary r

[Dietrich]

Hi Gary,

thanks for the nice words.

Nothing is supporting the extended catapult, just as it was the case with the original.

best regards,

Dietrich

Hi Dietrich,

great model but for a small error, I would like to point you: The color of the underwater hull of the boats was charcoal black and not red!

Cheers!
Dirk

[Dietrich]

Hi Dirk,

Thanks! Yes, I found that out later also (was fooled by Kagero and later saw the 1:100 model here: http://www.kbismarck.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1768) and was thinking about changing it. But then I said: "What the heck, it looks great and it is a model anyway!" But black would look good, too ..... maybe I bite the bullet!

I'm done! What a journey!
