Hi all well my birthday is not till Thursday and I thought I had got lucky when my missus bought me the pocher 1/4 ducati plus the update kit, well I had my kids over this weekend for my birthday party and they bought me these  How lucky am I. After a little research I discovered these and the warspite were all there when the Bismarck was sunk, obviously you all know I built the warspite in a dio, I'm now toying with the idea of doing a dio with these 3 in it. |

Cool, the book "hunt for the bismarck" might give you some good ideas if you can find a copy. It has some good pics of the battles and a wealth of information on it. The british battle fleet that went after her left from a mile away from mums house

Thanks mate, yep on second thoughts it's not practical at 1/350 at point blank range they would have to be either end of our garden (That would be 31 feet apart) I'm not even sure that would be far enough apart.

The Bismark must be a rerelease of an older kit as there is a battery box moulded in the bottom of the hull and 2 propshafts with propellers but no mention of any of this in the instructions. I imagine this was like the Airfix 1/12 Bentley 4.5 supercharged which was originally sold to be motorised but they have removed it on the new release but you can still see the remnants of it in the kit.   Incidentally the props looks really good quality. |
