Love the pics, thanks for posting them.

Any info about, the start of subscription, first pack shipment, if the ship plaque will included in the build, etc, etc.

Any news would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Scary complicated! I'll probably finish the T-800 first, then see what others might be offered before considering jumping into this one!

Hi everyone 🙂

My name is Patrick and I'm from Germany, the first country where the Bismarck launched in January 2019. We are now at stage 90/140, here you can see the build so far. I added the camouflage stripes on the superstructure by myself, the build only has them on the hull section.

Nice work on the stripes, think I will be doing that to mine, it looks heaps better with the strips up the superstructure.

Hola a todos 🙂

Mi nombre es Patrick y soy de Alemania, el primer país donde se lanzó el Bismarck en enero de 2019. Ahora estamos en la etapa 90/140, aquí puedes ver la construcción hasta ahora. Yo mismo agregué las rayas de camuflaje en la superestructura, la construcción solo las tiene en la sección del casco.

Those are not ribs, they are plate segments of the hull (That's how we build the hull, it is made out of die cast metal pieces, it's not one whole piece), and yes that is the way they will look.

[Blobthebuilder]

Isn't there a lip on inside so plate sections at least look flush on outside

Arrowed parts

[Blobthebuilder]

[Collector_felix]

Unfortunately yes they are. These are some photos of the hachette build which is the same model agora are re selling. I have no idea why they they chose this design

[Blobthebuilder]

I love your pictures - amazing! 

[shipgeezer]

Just beginning but here are pics where the shipgeezer works on Bismarck. Only completed stages 1 through 8 so far. Built this workbench organizer myself with 1/4 inch plywood. Nothing but glue holds it together, but this is where I work on models and also HO trains. Hope you like!! 

[S4Simon]

I'm really enjoying this build.  Well engineered. Up to issue 76 here in Oz-Land.

A couple more black and white shots - really brings out the detail.  And some shots showing the decking after the wash was applied.

Yes, but strangely not visible on the original marketing photos

Hello Guys,

These all look really nice. I don't have the Bismarck yet, planning on getting sometime later in the year. 

Simon, for the front and rear flags, when do you put them on? I am thinking if before, there would be some details hidden. 

Did you get them from https://www.partworkupgrades.com/ I found the website in Agoras news page. 

Lastly, does anyone known where you can get the 1/200 flag for the mast? I know Wayne plans on adding to his build. 

[S4Simon]

I put the front one on straight away.  When you receive the decals they give you the option of painting the red background and then just applying the white decal, or you can put on the full white on red decal.  I panted my deck red and then applied the white decal and sealed it with micro sol.  Bought my decals from customhobbydecals.  The flag decals come with the set.
