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

I have been itching for this, even more so after building the S-100. Put me down for the Revell 1/72nd Type VII U-Boat. I had planned on building it last year, but after you announced this series of GB's, i knew i had to enter it here.

Cheers Steve.

I'm in with the Trumpeter 1/350 Graf Zeppelin.  Strictly OOB. 

 

Thought about the Dragon 1943 Scharnhorst, but way too much PE for my skill set.

I'd like to enter with an old stash member.

SMS Scharnhorst, a full hull resin kit from Combrig. 1/350.

I'll have to make some decisions about era and paint scheme.

GH, GM, I got y'all down.

Looking forward to both of those.

GH, if that Sharny is too much for you, I'll take it off your hands Wink Seriously though The Zeppelin looks quite the ship.

GM, just read a review on the kit. It received a great review on Steel NavyYes

Großadmiral Modelcrazy,

Would you add me in with:

1/350 Dragon KMS Scharnhorst 1943

                      and

1/350 Trumpeter KMS Prinz Eugen

 

Funny, later this week I'm going to finally crack open my KGV for the British GB!

I have a Heller 1:150 Pruessen kit I have been lugging around for the past 35 years.  This might be a good reason to build it, and at a little over 3 feet long and just as tall, build an extension onto my house to display it.

Bish-  no hanger deck on it, totally boxed in and bare.

Hogfanfs-  got your hands full with the Scharnhorst.

MC- may take you up on that, but it is a beautiful ship.

Steve,

I’m tempted but I still owe you a X-Craft from the British Flag GB. If I threw my hat into the ring I have four options and all of them are spoken for and I wouldn’t want to take away from anyone else’s build.

1/350 Trumpeter Graf Spee with loads of aftermarket 

1/350 Revell Tirpitz with the PE but no aftermarket weapons .... yet

1/350 ICM Koenig with no aftermarket .... yet

1/72 Revell Schnellboot w/Flak and oodles of aftermarket.

Steve

I unsersatnd Steve however remember, once you sign up, you have as long as it takes to complete it. I don't believe anyone is building a Schnellboot or the Tirpitz. If I had either, I'd throw them in.

I’ve been itching to build something sea going for while. Put me down for an AFV Club 1/350 U-Boat Type VII C. I’d like to do a 1/700 Prinz Eugen but I haven’t done a ship kit in almost twenty years and don’t want to get in over my head. Will see how I’ll do with the U-Boat for now.

I'll stsrt off with the Graff Spee, I got this kit from a person that I built the Mogami and Akagi for.  I've never built a Trumpeter kit before so this should be educational.  I got it with the wood decks but it needs more.  

Who make a decent set of P.E. and barrels?

I have the same guns for my Spee and i got the Eduard PE set for it. I couldn't find any others. Which wood deck do you have. I couldn't find the Artwox one so got Wood Hunters which i have not tried before.

I have the Hunter wood deck. I've used them before but the glue isn't as strong as Artwox. I had to suplement some areas with a drop of thin CA here or there but otherwise it was a perfect fit and looks good. I would think Wood Hunters are about the same quality.

Thanks for the heads up Steve. I used an Artwox deck on my S-boat and that went down great. I also have one for the Bismarck, but i just couldn't find their Spee one anywhere.

I have a Nautilus deck for the U-Boat and i am looking forward to seeing how that goes.
