Tamiya bismarck 1/350 with upgrade kit
- Thread starter Pantherman
- Start date
I'm just an amateur tinkering with stuff I've never tried before. PM
Got the forward deck glued down and put the anchors on. The bow anchor was just stuck on the front according to the instructions so added a brass rod and chain to make it look a little better. Still got some touching in to do but I will wait until I'm ready to do all the main deck railings for that. Pantherman
Nice! All in the details...
Very true, thanks. PM

Looking a bit more deeper into this I think that the bow point anchor was just a backup which could be connected to the other main anchor chains.
As such, it would be as I have fitted it with a small section of chain but it shouldn't go into the hull through the deck.
I think I may leave it as is because I don't want to make it look more obvious than it is. In time I might change it but not just yet.

Yep, got same info.
On top of that, it appears that they removed the anchors at the end.
"they got rid of the anchors and chains after the Denmark Strait battle in order to loose weight on the bow and help with the trimming of the ship. The piece of chain on Bismarck's fore deck could be just a small lenght of one of the chains"

Well I have at last finished it....... the stand !! Pantherman
Fancy! With a stand like that, the pressure is really on!
I have recently been looking at the 1/200 trumpeter Bismarck with the Pontos advanced upgrade kit.
It's almost £700 for both but I figure it will take me a year to build it. Works out around £58 a month which is more than I would normally spend in a year
Think it's going to be worth it though. Pantherman

Agree. The only reason i did not take this set is the size: 1/200 gets difficult to work on, mainly the hull. No space on my workbench

Yes, probably have to glue it onto the hull as it doesn't locate as such. Pantherman

WELL why not stick a couple of pins in the stand an then drill two holes in the hull an so that the hull will lift off the stand like i have done an it will sit on the pins an it wont come off an if you decide that you would like to do a water dio you can best of both worlds there as i might do that with my hornet

Good idea. Thanks. Pantherman
Not my best work but I'm getting the hang of it I think. Pantherman
Not to worry, I had alot of enthusiasm to try the new glue. If not for that a long lie in sounds good to me. PM
