                        First off, Welcome.

                        Secondly, Reservist huh? Who's Navy and what rating?

                        "Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay?"

                        Welcome aboard.

                        I checked out various reviews some years ago on 350 Bismarck kits and opted for the Revell kit. That seemed to come out with the best reviews.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        Welcome Sign

                        I've built the Tamiya, good basic kit and still looks good built up, not a bad kit for a start. I have the Revell and will start on that next year. Never tried the Academy kit but built the Academy Indianaplois which wasn't bad.

                        I believe the Trunpy kit is 1/200

                        Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

                        Hello ! TechySailor!

                         Welcome to the Forums. I would recommend for that ship,the Trumpeter kit, and then the Tamiya kit. Both have their faults, But I found the Trumpeter perfect for my needs. Tanker - Builder

                         P.S Building in Bottles huh ? Who empties them? No, really, there is a fascination with these that goes back, way back, in history. There are books that can help. I don't know which Libraries would have them, because it's such a ethereal part of ship-modeling .

                        Welcome!  Post a few pics of your builds.  I am not a ship modeler (yet) but you will find plenty here.

                        Thanks,

                        John

                        Good Day,

                         

                        I am a modeller who builds all sorts of models. I have been doing so, since I was a young lad with my father. My prized possession (so far in regards to models), is a German U-Boat (can't remember the scale, but it's one of those consignment buys that luckily had all the pieces). She is a large scale though! I like to build planes, trains and ships.. currently I am working to get better at the ship - in - bottle model type, but will take some time. I love building battleships the most (being a Naval Reservist of course). Will be building HMCS Huron and HMCS Snowberry very soon! I do want to build a Bismarck in 1:350 and am looking for recommendations on which brand to build. I found one in Revell, Academy and Tamiya. 

                         

                        All the best,

                        TechySailor
