Dirk, I think it's borderline? I bought the kit dirt cheap, and it came with a Artwox wooden deck and chain (The deck is incorrect so I did not use it) but the chain is far more accurate than what Pontos gave. It may be 1/4 too big but better than getting a North star individual linked chain and taking a full week to make it up. Damn, this is going to nag me now. Jan you can't see it but I did manage a triple layer. Too much like hard work for mine.

Big guns done, even the triple levels on the barrels, they need some weathering yet plus handrails, which will be about a full day’s work.

Sorry, most of us don't have a spare 6 metres in the house to build one. Mind you sourcing the aircraft and the crew would be fairly easy. More teasers for the Seydlitz though, if you remember my Dreadnought, it can be done in a similar manner.

AS previously stated, Pontos based this kit on Tamiya’s Prince Of Wales not the KGV. As such the central catapult area is a retrofit and there is no protrusions at the end of the Cats on the side of the ship provided and have to be scratch built. The 42-43 version did have the armoured splinter shields instead of railings and I have yet to add 8 single 20mm guns. Yes, I also have to fix up the paintwork and add some large scuppers.

You’re flying along, looking good. It’s funny how the camera picks up things they mk1 eyeball misses.

So true, small scale also hides mistakes but if I were to build her again I’d do individual stanchions.

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.
