Hi,

just an update ... I finished the inlets for starboard and port turbines and commenced work on the starboard bilge keel. I build it from aluminum and slotted it for better fit to the hull lines. Pictures show a first dry fitting of the keel.

Hi Bernd good job on hull attachments..
do you using aluminium?

Yes, Alu.



PS: I have not forgotten the RAL 8013 sample ...!

ok.
very nice indeed.
the use of alu gives a good look....

Hi again,

adding the bilge keel goes hand in hand with the installation of the cooling water inlet for the starboard turbine. As both assemblies are connected I am really anxious how everything will fit together in the end ...

Time for a cup of coffee ...

Bye.

the work is very good.
is amazing the quantity of infos you have about Bismarck.
good work as always

Thanks Norbeto!

You need to update your building log!

Bye!

I adjusted the seabox roughly to the hull shape. The trapezoidal openings in the shell emerged as expected. The bilge keel � my biggest concern � seems to fit well to the lower edge of the seabox ...

Bye now!

Hi 109, Can I call you ME, I have to say, your work looks better than mine, I have been looking in on some talented work.

How did it ever float with all those holes in the hull ? Talk about attention to detail .

Hi,

at least my model would sink rapidly as all openings are not water tight ...

Bye,

Bernd.

Bernd.

hi bernd,one can tell you are putting a lot of detail and hard work into bismarks hull, if bloss&volm put that much work into the origanal she would probobly still be afloat to this day
