Hi, I am not sure if this is a scratch build or a kit. Since I am the creator of the files used in building this model, I suppose it is scratch built, but as the files are available for purchase, it could be considered a kit. Unless told otherwise, I will proceed on the basis of scratch built and will wait a a day or two before proceeding for input.

I was able to pick up this Tamiya 1/350 scale German Battle ship Tirpitz, which is the sister ship to the infamous Bismarck kit for $48.00, which I though was a pretty good deal since it retails for about double that price. I intend on building it radio control, which shouldn't be too difficult since it as well as the Bismarck with both made for R/C use with diagraming of the R/C setup in the instructions. This model will be more of an inside build versus me having to work out in my shop like I usually do with my wooden models.

Hey, Long time lurker first time logger! Inspired by the builds of RGL, I decided to revisit my childhood building plastic Airfix kits and hanging them from the ceiling and have a crack at a plastic warship. Now, I started taking some photos with the intentions of compiling a build log when I was happy I wasn't going to embarrass myself. So the build went along but I stopped taking the in progress photos. Well today, I thought who cares about embarrassment, I'll pull my finger out and document this. So there are a few photos from the beginning and from today progress should be 'as it happens' I am aware that I have taken some artistic license, particularly with the camo, Revell's artwork is incorrect as the blue should be green but I like the look with the blue. As I am Captain I ordered the green painted over, its winter anyway, no trees around! Also its a bit dirtier than it probably would have been as the crew didnt have anything else to do but helps disguise any incompetent building 😀 ...obligatory box shot. Ben
