I guess that she will be really impressed....... or am I wrong?:dancetl6:

So far it has been with great delight that I have follow your progress - impressive (showed some pictures of PE where you can see the "smallness" - she was impressed but commented " I hope you are not going to build something as big as that"

So Im going to bring it to my girlfriends house.

Probably the wisest thing to do, i.e. as far as you are not allowed to build at her place ...!

Hello,

Just came across your build and it looks very nice. HOWEVER I just checked my references to confirm what I thought looked odd.

The 3.7 cm twin AA didn't have any gunshields. Neither did the quadruple 20 mm AA on the fighting top. I wish I had seen your

build earlier to let you know. Bismarck was the only German ship which was extensively photographed as I guess they were

proud of their achievement. I have a couple of books and 1:100 plans of her and they all show her without the shields. 

Your model is otherwise really good.

Hi Matelot thanks for stopping by!  The shields came with the veteran model gun kits. So I did 4 with shields and 4 without.   It's totally ok though I'm not to concerned about being super accurate. If I can just finish it and if some one who enters my home looks at it and says "thats cool" thats good enough for me :)

I was bored last night at 2am so I assembled one of the "mini kits"

Now I am installing some railings or rungs or whatever they are called. I'm not happy there's  glue everywhere!  They are with out a doubt the hardest PE to glue. I dread them everytime.

All I can say is you're doing a damn good job of hiding it - I can't see any at all :D .
