Ciao all,
one of the most critical type of informations to find while making the 1 /350 models with Photo Etched parts ( despite the PE parts maker
) .. is the correct disposition of the portholes on the ship.
The only really valid, complte and precise source on info at low cost is the series of drawings Mr. Hans Gally made ( my best congratulatons to him
) both for Bismarck as well as for Tirpitz, .. togheter with the AJ-Press books,..otherwise you must go for teh original Bundesarchiv plans..
See references here in :
viewtopic.php?p=5152&sid=f3306d2703f26c ... ab7679608a
Here, on this models I have taken all the available infos to realize a kind of complete set of portholes placements both sides including the back of the 150 mm turrets ( particularly difficult to find ) and for everybody convinience I took some photos of it so you can see it and take out infos if needed.
I just anticipate the portholes placement is NOT symmetric as the 2 sides are different on many areas.
But again ... showing them is better than describe :
Ciao Antonio
