CDW Posted September 17, 2017 #1 Posted September 17, 2017 I saw an online build review of this 1:200 Scharnhorst kit and had to find one for myself. This fellow is an extraordinary modeler and does great justice to this kit: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=155972 After I began searching for the kit, I realized it is currently out of print. But I was lucky and found the kit at GPM, along with all the photo etch, metal barrels, props, and anchors. The only thing they didn't have were the laser cut frames. I next ran across a shop named Freetime Hobbies in the Ukraine. They had the laser cut frames for this kit and I ordered them, but have not received them yet to photograph them. After reviewing the kit, I am glad I found the laser cut frames. They are extensive. As you will see in the photographs, the photo etch is extensive with this set!

ccoyle Posted September 17, 2017 #2 Posted September 17, 2017 Wow! We have had some ambitious card projects started around here recently. I wish you well on this one and look forward to seeing it come together. Cheers! Canute, Captain Slog, CDW and 1 other 4 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

CDW Posted September 17, 2017 Author #3 Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Trust me, I will not start this model until I get at least two simpler card models finished and under my belt. I may not find another one of these and don't want to screw it up. I have your tutorial all lined up with my sheets printed out and all supplies, except I am waiting on a precision hole punch tool to arrive from Micro-Mark. That should give me a good start then I'll do something a little more complex before starting the "shiny horse".

Dan Vadas Posted November 4, 2018 #4 Posted November 4, 2018 I'm also looking forward to this build. Halinski are probably the best card kit maker, at least as far as I've found so far. Happy building .

Peter Papa Posted April 3, 2020 #5 Posted April 3, 2020 Interestingly, I'm working on completing my 20 yr. project of RC 1:100 DKM Scharnhorst. Hopefully to be completed by Fall 2020. mtaylor, coxswain and CDW 3 Quote
