the best PE set for Tamiya 1/350 King George V?

Better relief etching, and more useful things. In reality, the best is to have them both, since there are useful things in both sets, but that might be a bit too expensive for most.

thank you denstore for the reply, but do you mind telling me why you go for WEM,  I am very new to building ships so I still have a long way to learn.

thanks

joey

This might be a bit late, but:

I have both the WEM and the GMM etch sets for the KGV's. Both are good, and contains most of the things that you might need. But if I had to choose between them, the WEM would get my vote.

beautiful work you have here, its a good idea of making things compact while still keeping the details.

thanks

Short answer, when I got back into modeling, the one ship I really, really wanted to build only came in 1/700, or in some godawful gigantic and unaffordable scale like 1/96 or something. So I sucked it up and have slowly learned how to master the true "squinty scale." Which comes in handy when you live in a small apartment. Plus, I can do things like put an entire dockyard scene in less than a square foot of space, which allows me to tell lots of "stories" in a diorama while still keeping the ship as the center of attention, as in this example:

finally some one has an answer, than you mfsob,

just my curiousity, is 1/700 just as fun as 1/350? what makes you stay with 1/700? this would be my first boat in 20+ years (i have only built a hand full in my life anyways.), i also have a 1/700 yamato also.

thanks again

I'm a 1/700 ship guy, but I don't think you can go far wrong with Gold Medal Models stuff. Loren Perry's sets tend to fit, exactly, and his directions border on exquisitely precise. He has a set for your very model: http://www.goldmm.com/ships/gms350-7.htm . I just fill out an order form, send him a check and the well-wrapped shows up in a week or so.
