Hachette offer different partworks in different countries. The Scharnhorst for example is German exclusive right now. U96 first was German exclusive, then was released in France and the UK. There's a lot of Hachette partworks in Italy that are never released in other countries. It's a big mess really. I don't think they deliver to the US at all. Regarding the magazines they give background info relating to the topic at hand. For instance for Scharnhorst their are sections on her build and day-to-day operation, the missions she was involved in, but also sections on other important battleships at the time, maritime warfare in general and so on. For the Stuka and Tiger it was the same, but involving air and tank warfare obviously.

Yeah, planking without shift patterns is really feeling weird the first time you do it, but it's pretty standard in this type of model. With Amatis Titanic they even fill up the entire mid section in one go with a single big sheet of wood. I may do that one after the Scharnhorst, it's in the basement waiting for a free wharf.

Scharnhorst issue 35 Finishing up planking of the middle section of the hull, we learn how to cut strips to size so they will fit in gaps. Afterwards all the nails are pulled and the planked section is given a once over with sandpaper to smooth it. We've reached the 25% landmark in the build, so it's time to have another look at the whole thing put together so far.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
