Pontosmodel 1/200 Bismarck Detail Up Set

[Pontosmodel]

I checked whole manuals but there is no clear instruction for this Platform assembly on the funnel though on mid of page8 the platform assembly is shown. But center-bottom of page 7 you can see the attached state of this platform and this come to link to Funnel.

Are you refering to the platform that connects the rear if the forward superstructure to the funnel? If so it is included. I've just finished building this section and there definitely are two platforms there.

Ahh ok, I think I get you. You're saying that a bridge extends and connects to the funnel and it's just not shown like that in the Trumpeter manual? When looking at the Anatomy of the Bismarck, they also don't show it in the picture I included.

[David Gatt]

It's Pontos part number 58 and is shown in the middle column on the page that has most of the main superstructure assembly pieces including the main rangefinders. It's under the heading "main mast platform" there are a number of etch parts including railing and supports that go with the part.

Kim the update parts and instructions arrived thank you mate

[Channell]

Kim-

I was just wondering if the the "advanced set" talked about earlier in the thread is the "Super Deluxe set" currently available ( http://www.freetimehobbies.com/1-200-po ... grade-set/ )or if there is another even more detailed set in the works?

Thanks for the info!

i think you will find the answer is no from a previous post

Current plan is
21001F1 "Advanced Plus Set"
27001F1 "Advanced Set"

23001F1 "Basic set" (will be discontinued)
22001F1 "Basic set (no woodendeck) (will be discontinued)

23001F1 owner can buy just 21001F1 for Full Advanced set.
So 27001F1 = 23001F1+21001F1

And just after 21001F1 released, we will discontinue to supply 23001F1 and 22001F1

27001F1 will be cost much more than (23001F1+21001F1)

So 23001F1 owners will have some more profit in the payment budget though paid shipping cost two times.

Sorry, this was just a little confusing. So what you're saying is that one can just buy 2001F1 "Advanced Plus Set" and it will include Everything, including whats currently in the basic sets, without any need to buy another set? I only ask because I was just about to buy the Basic Set (23001F1 I believe) but am wondering If I should just wait to get the "Advanced Plus Set".

Dear Mr. Kim:

Will you be doing a detail up set for the Trumpeter HMS Belfast in 1/350?

Please advise.

Thanks!

No. "Plus" means it's the add-on. Read the equation: 27001F1 (Advanced Set) = 23001F1 (Basic set, to be discontinued) + 21001F1 (Advanced Plus Set).

In essence, it is cheaper to buy the Basic Set and also the Advanced Plus Set now, than to wait for the 27001F1 Advanced Set later, which will cost much more than both separately right now.

[Mike Coleman still]

Is there a list of what is included in the new Advance Plus set?

My bad, lol. It was a late day and I totally misread that whole thing somehow.

Kim!

I'm about to order a BASIC 23001F1 from Lucky Models.
They offer Restock only, ca 2 weeks.

If I order this set from them, will it include the 21001F1-parts when delivered (I assume from a recent production), or will I have to order 21001F1 separately?
If separatly, from where? I can not find this Pontos item/number anywhere on net.
Both these sets togehter = you new Advanced 27001F1, I understand

I live in Norway, but can of course order from anywhere if you provide me more info regarding suppliers/dealers.

Just order 23001F1 this is enough.
From this shipping, all correction parts are included on the new fret.

Kim
lots of confusion on whats actually available now so maybe people are unwilling like myself to buy anything until we know what we will get I think this needs more info not what has been discontinued has the advance set been released yet I thought you were still working on it but from the list looks like its been released

what set number for basic including wood deck?
what set number for advanced ?
what number for basic + advanced ?


thanks

[Pontosmodel]

O.K. I will arrange all our sets.

20001WD1 "Wooden deck"
21001F1 "Advanced add on"
22001F1 "Basic set (no woodendeck) (will be discontinued)
23001F1 "Basic set" (will be discontinued)
27001F1 "Advanced Set"

And
23001F1 = 22001F1+20001WD1
27001F1 = 23001F1+21001F1
27001F1= 22001F1+20001WD1+21001F1

Just after releasing 21001F1/27001F1, 23001F1 will be discontinued.
21001F1 and 27001F1 will come after 23002F1 USS Missouri 1945 Basic set.

Thank you

Hello Kim,

I was one of the first customers to buy your 23001F1 set, through Lucky Models in HK, when it was available.
I got it with missing or broken parts, but after a couple e-mails to you and a couple of weeks of patience, I received the missing or broken replacement parts.

Now I wrote to you twice about the staircase correction set, as I thought you would automatically send it to identified customers, but so far got no set nor answer.
So should I conctact Lucky Models to get this correction set or do you directly care about it ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

[Tobori]

Any word on when the the advanced add on for the 1/200 Bismarck is going to be finished? It's nice to see all the effort going into new sets such as the 1/350 Yamato, but how about finishing one set before starting another? I'm sure those of us that have already invested in th Bismarck set would really appreciate an update. We were patient for the correction sets after purchasing a set with errors. It's frustrating to see us being put on the back burner so you can start selling something else. Please finish the Bismarck set.

[Antanas]

Hello Kim,
I got the correction set. Everything is fine. Thank You and good luck.

[Tobori]

Still no word on the advanced add on set? Will we be able to get it by Christmas?

[alang]

Come on Mr Kim, outstanding questions, unanswered help requests and now on checking your Webb site the incorrect instruction sheets are still there to download. Surely at least these could be corrected. In effect you are still selling these sets knowingly with the incorrect instructions.
I have almost finished my Bismarck but to be quite honest l don't think l will be going near a Pontos set again.
I also pointed out some time ago that your Prince of Wales etc kits were not listed on your website and today they are still listed as TBA yet they were released some months ago. Do you honestly wish to sell kits???
Surely its time for a sorry message to be posted to us fools that have struggled with this kit.
