I would really like to know what the content of that packege is before I might order it. Maybe it is worth sublementing the MK1 package I already have, maybe not. Today is the 29th!

I am happy at this time we kept our promise.
Hope these pictures may help your decision.





Thank you

H Kim,

thank you very much for posting. It looks great and my sincere compliments. But for me there is not much more to warrant another expenditure, so I could make a decission. Thanks!

I was actually hoping to see more detail in these areas, something that Lion Roar already provided for 1/350 scale. It would add greatly to the appearance in 1/200 scale! Just look at your picture of the stern!

Hi Kim,

it is a wonderful work
Is it correct, that the set, we see on the picture, is the "Basic-Set"
and the "Advanced-Set" comming soon?

Best wishes

Nice one!

Is it just me, or do the 15cm barrels appear a tad on the short side?

Glad to see corrected "wooden" cratings on the open bridge decks ...

Happy modelling ~ Olaf!

Kim,

Some wonderful work there. In particular the mast and jackstaffs are works of art

I am not sure the solid bridge railings is the correct approach? I would definately substitute these for standard rails. I was also personally hoping to see a good amount of superstructure etched louvred panelling from you to replace the dull and dreary solid kit louvres.

A good example of openable louvres that could be added is to the main funnel which is just crying out for a replacement louvred grille!

I would like to see what more you are planning to offer in the "advanced" set? and what the timecale will be for that particular fret? Are you going to get that done next or drop off the Bismarck alltogether and work on something new for a while?

I think depending on your answer to the above point I might wait before ordering this set and multiple other sets from other manurfacturers such as Mk1/Eduard.

Great Work, you should be proud.

Regards

I have preordered this set and to reiterate glad that I did. This is really nice detail work. I also am curious Kim ... since I would purchase the advanced kit as well ... is there any hint of an estimated time table ... I am not trying to hurry .. just to get in my head when the availability would meet my estimated build time. THanks so much for your long hours of work and effort and attention to detail this must have cost you all ..

[Bill Gormley]

Beautiful work - I hope all of these works of art you produce end up under glass in a good home (or in your company's lobby). I know that every time you publish photos of a new model it instantly becomes my desktop photo.

Solid rail on the bridge is additional option parts with Standard Rail.
I think Louvres mens as Side scuttles (circular type and Rectangular tpes)
Plenty of Circular types added at this basic set but Rectangular types will be added on the Advanced set)

"Advanced" set will include as follows but not determined completely.

1 Funnel pipes about 44 and Funnel outer ring detail for these pipes.
2 Rail poles for 0.2mm wire railing�
3 Some additional Resin cutter boats.
4 8 Paravane with some more details.
5 Outer water ways of main deck edge (Basic set has these water ways only in structure deck edges as PE lines).
6 Hangers for 20mm Flak 30
7 8(or more) Small Bitts (Bollard) missed at the Basic set
8 Booms for paravanes 4 sets in one Bismarck..
9 Others missed at the Basic set.
10 Secret item : But thee make the retail price 40USD or more higher. So I am serious thinking whether these parts to be added on the Advanced set or not.

As mentioned above, not detrmined yet for the contents of "Avanced" So please feedback to us for better contents.

And "Advanced" set will be released separately for who've got the Basic set already.

I think one month may be enough for this additional Avanced set after releasing Basic set.

Thank you
Kim

Yep to my eyes it seems also some odd shape but the real dimension is right...
We tried to realize all wood plank lines and shapes would be exactly 1/200 scale...

The main plank width is 0.625mm based on fact of 125mm.

Beautiful work - I hope all of these works of art you produce end up under glass in a good home (or in your company's lobby). I know that every time you publish photos of a new model it instantly becomes my desktop photo.

Yep it is very harder work to us how display this Bis in our office than 6 month design works.

Here is Masking sheet for Big Swastikas.
I've tried to escape Some strict rules of Europe.


Thank you
Kim

Hi, Kim

Pls just don't remove svastika , some people like to present model original by History, I hope this will be individual by modeler builder. So pls keep svastika in the set.

[KJ Kim]

Can'n take my eyes off from your Bis model for a quite long time. Even though it's not painted, it still looks awesome!

Hi, Kim

Personal order from our dealers may have full Swastikas..
Only problem is mas order from our dealers in Europe.

But European dealer can determine cut or not Swastikas.

Thank you
Kim
