Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. I'm really stoked about this kit although it only gets crazier from here. I couldn't build the second Arado. These parts are so small, while cleaning the sprue tab of the pontoon support, it flexed and disappeared. Later in the day I tried that trick...

I bought the kit on a whim, but once I cracked the box I knew I had to jump right in. It's 1/700, incredibly cast model, sharpest detail I've ever seen, styrene parts crisper than resin. Includes 8 PE frets and turned barrels and mast. To get the ball rolling, I wanted to test out how thin I...

I just got the Flyhawk Bismarck today. It has to be the most impressive kit I've ever seen. Details so fine in styrene, I truly didn't think possible. Then add 8 frets of PE and turned barrels and mast (all for $37) and my jaw dropped. Honestly, the detail might be too fine to show through...

Very nice. I've always loved the Pz I variants. I feel like I could make one at home with Volkswagen parts.

Just received one today. Not bad, $5 shipping and was here is under a week. Haven't used it yet, but I'm not sold on it. It's well packed, with a hologram label for authenticity, etc, but the piece itself is about 2.5 by 1.5 inches and relatively flimsy. Not in the shop right now, so I can't...

I forgot to mention: Since I've been working on one myself and all the research, etc. I came across some of the Trumpeter 1/48s with full interior that have been built. Your 1/72 is a better presentation than any of them.

Superb. After spending two days opening up the limbers and vents, I can't imagine the time you put into that. Wonderful work.

Beautiful. Work, tools, all of it.

Shaping up beautifully.

I have a rivet making tool ready and a ton of styrene sheet in different thicknesses en route, but my son just came home for Thanksgiving and said he'd rather have a different boat modeled. I gave him book to read, we'll see if he will change his mind. I might add a few sheets anyway since they...

Thanks guys. I finally after so many months got some styrene in my hands. I bought a Foredom flex shaft tool (amazing) right before the mishap, so I finally got to use it. I started in on the opening of all the molded closed holes as well as the oil canning of the thin sheet metal of the...

A fresh start. I'll start a new thread over there, including background behind the build and a breakdown of what's in the box.

A fresh start. Thanks all. I was under the impression it was a build of the first thing we built here. I went back and mine was a 1/16 Stug. I'd happily join with this if appropriate.

A fresh start. Already got it. I wish I knew about it back in my diving days, although it's a tough dive, it's not too far from me and not too deep or a lengthy boat ride. Yep, I'll be adding the Alberich. I'm planning on laminating very thin styrene sheets.

Edit, Campaign startup photos: Lotta stuff in this Platinum version: PE, brass barrels and periscopes. self adhering wood deck. A whole addendum of directions If I wasn't psyched enough to build once I finished the shop, I certainly am once I cracked the box. This should build...

Sweet. Congrats all around. Maybe one day your son will use some gear my kid designs.

Great project and execution.
