New to ship building

Bill K - it IS going to take awhile, but look at the bright side, at least you're working in giant 1/350 scale instead of the little brother 1/700 scale *evil grin*

I just wanted to thank everyone for their useful comments and suggestions.  TomZ2, thanks for pointing out the correct place to search for previous posts.  I was using the 'Search Finescale.com' and only came up with 9 items.  Even after you pointed out that there was a different place to enter a search (Search out Community), it took me awhile to find it amoung all the ads, etc. 

I've to go with the White Ensign PE and have started ordering the three sets.  I'm not going to start on my Bismarck until fall, but in the mean time I'm getting together a plan of attack and references.  This is my first venture into ships and I can already see the PE and other details is going to take a lot longer than the 1/48 aircraft that I'm use to.

Thanks again everyone

Bill,

Welcome to the ship forum!

With regards to using the WEM "Revell" Bismark PE set on the Tamiya Bismarck, the best we can say is "Your mileage may vary." Many of the railings will be pre-measured for the Revell kit and probably won't fit perfectly on the Tamiya one. You can use generic railings or try and make it work; we haven't always had pre-fit railings in PE form. A lot of the details will probably work, but some won't.

Welcome to the Forums Bill. Glad to have you aboard.

  Once upon a time, in a modeller’s bench far, far away…

Best use the "Search our Community" first, then ask a question. (1876 items items for "Bismarck".) Don't use the Forum "E-mail addresses" window for questions!!! Use "Search our Community" (a page down).

This might be a better place to ask that question.
