(The AA Turrets traverse), (As do the rest of them), I may fix the AA Turrets permanently in place.) Installed the 20mm AA Gun on Turret Bruno. (I think that the poor sod manning this Gun would have a suicide wish when Bruno's Guns Fired!!) Placed Arados, only placed at the mo as I am unsure about thier final positions. Interference Grids almost ready for installation. Enough for one day.... 🙂 Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #460 Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I have a question for the Forum and am hoping for some advice. I have 3 DKM Flags, two for Bow/Stern Flagstaffs and one "War Pennant" that has a lanyard from the Deck to the Main Mast. So, do I form the Deal around the Flagstaff's Lanyard, or do I wrap Foil around and then the Decal? I wish to put the Decals on prior to installing Flagstaff's/Lanyard. Any sage opinion/advice would be very much appreciated. Cheers....HOF.

My thoughts, (I don't know if they are viable), is to cut the foil to size attach to the Lanyard and "Sandwich" the Decal around both sides of the foil. Sae for Flagstaff's? I especially want to do this, (Something), to the Flagstaff's before attaching these items. It would be an absolute nightmare to attach the Flagstaff's first, decal after.

You could build them up first (Flagstaff/Flag/Lanyard/Foil) on the bench before fitting the whole assembly to the Ship, then just run the ends of the lanyards down to the deck when the Flagstaffs are set.

hof00 Posted February 6, 2023 Author #471 Posted February 6, 2023 Hi All, Small update: I "Farted" around for a couple of hours today getting tthe Starboard Arado installed. RV Chima, (Rod), drew attention to mounting the aircraft on Catapults. The aircraft "Skid" needs to be higher.to sit properly. I ended up putting a 1.5mm "Spacer" between Skid and Catapult I then had to insert a 2.5mm temporary spacer under the Floats to obtain correct aircraft orientation. Once happy with it, CA Skid and removal spacer under the Floats. I'm still thinking about the second Arado.... Since it has folded Wings, I think I'll "Park" it in front of th Port Hanger. (It makes the model a little different perhaps.) Any opinion on this? Another point of note, the 10.5cm AA Guns do not fit the "Barbettes." (The "Peg" on the Turret mounting is too long by 1.0mm or so) I am unsure if this just relates to my Amati Version. To fix the issue, I filed down the plastic Peg on the Turret Base that fits into the "Barbette" cup. Cheers....HOF.

I started this build several years ago, 2008? I got the basic hull and some Superstructure almost compete and thought it was time to drag it out again.... Reasons for this is that I am tired of sitting on my Chuff for the last couple of months waiting for surgery on a torn right Rotator Cuff and looking like I'll be languishing for a couple more month's to come. The scale and size makes things a little easier to accomplish with my left hand. 🙂 The Partworks version is essentially an Amati offering in 140 magazine issues and it seemed too good an opportunity to re-start proceedings. (I have the Trumpeter 1/200 version with MK1 Detail set and the Tamiya 1/350 version also.) I began this afternoon by ensuring all subsequent issues and contents were present and put aside the 1/400 Titanic for a future when I have both arms fully operational 🙂 So, don't know how far I can get but my best shot and it's better than casting around feeling "Disabled." The Hull looks good for the time it's been in storage, some attention with filling, sanding and primer will help The Superstructure components will be wrapped in PE I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!! (A very big "Thank you" to the Gentlemen currently building the Amati version, it's given me much needed inspiration!!) Cheers....HOF.

Joe100 Posted February 10, 2023 #480 Posted February 10, 2023 Parking the Arado is just fine. They were moved all over the place, perhaps not while on-mission. Bismarck could ship up to 6 Arados but that would have meant storing two outside, not very practical. Also, just for fun, Bismarck’s builders plate was just above the doors on the aft hanger. I have a drawing of it, if you guys are interested. mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Canute 3 Quote
