Amati 1/200 Scale Bismarck Part 2

First Layer of Planks

[@johndouglas7344]

I’ve built the Hachette part works kit of Bismarck which basically the same kit, it sits proudly in my man cave. I’m a few weeks into Amati’s HMS Bounty. I’ve sorted all the issues with Bounty kit early in the build thanks to your videos. I even got some of cast metal parts to fit on the stern by horizontally planking the gallery supports. I also made a the plywood wood slight longer on the stern the get the windows under the deck. Anyway good luck with this build it’s fantastic model especially the brass photo etch on the super structure.

That is some of the best planking I've ever seen. Great work. I'm trying to decide if I will get this kit or the Prince Eugen from Occre

Thanks for posting these videos! Looking forward to following your build! I have a few questions for you: 1. Is this a "boxed version" of the 1:200 Bismarck that was released (in Europe) by Hachette? How similar? 2. Do you know if AMATI is going to release a similar "boxed Version" of their 1:200 HMS Hood - also released (in Europe) by Hachette? Thanks!!

[@davaoshipmodeller]

Thank you and yes it's the same Kit with , I think some small improvements . I am not sure if they are planning to make the Hood too, but as soon I got any information I will let you know .

@@davaoshipmodeller it is much improved and actuaslly sold by Amati they claim major improvements like fyll decking

[@davaoshipmodeller]

@@richardsimmons6470 I can't make any judgements since I've never have built the Hachette Kit , but since the Hachette Kit is too from AMATI , I think it must be true that they have improved the Model
