I don't mind resurrecting zombie threads,this is good one.It was either the Tamiya Bismarck or Yamato

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, its not always a bad thing.

I have not built any 350 ships yet and only have 1 in the stash, the Revell Bismarck. I'd like to get a few more, the Graf Spee, Graf Zeppelin, Scharnhorst, HMS Belfast. Maybe a couple others. But they do seem like large undertakings that will take a lot of time, so maybe i might just stick to one or two.

 

Hi Bish,I have the Trumpeter Graf Spee and Graf Zeppelin in my stash,as soon as I relocate to a new state,the Spee is up !!! Got a wood deck and brass barrels also.

I have a deck and barrels for my Bismarck as well. But thinking of getting some turrets from shapeways as they come with the blast bags.

There is a Spee on e-bay at the minute, if the price stays decent, i might be adding that to the list on Sunday.

I have the Revell Bismark and Trumpy Spee as well as a few others. Both look to be loads of fun. Of course, I like ships so.....

Going to be a tie, of sorts, between the Revell Forrest Sherman at 1/350ish, or the Nichimo(?) Kongo.

Kongo probably "counts" more as I actually researched things like ship colors, decks amd the like, rather than an overall pale grey or bare grey plastic.

For proper perspective, this would be before AM much existed, what little there was invovled small ads in the back of modeling magazines and the postal service.  Loren Perry was just making a splash (NPI) modeling scale RC ships for the magazines.
