Tamiya vs. Minihobby Scharnhorst/Gneisenau - which is better

Post by paulcadogan »

Hello All,

This is my first post in the Bismarck Forum. A question for the experts from a very basic out-of-the-box (+ paint of course!) modeller: I am generally very pleased with the quality of the Tamiya waterline 1/700 series. I'm currently on the Scharnhorst. How does the Mini Hobby version compare?

Thanks.

Paul

It's a rather poor copy of the Tamiya kit.
There are 2 types of vessels out there. One type is called a target. If it isn't capable of silently doing 30+ knots at 2000 ft depth its always considered a target. The vessel that can silently go fast and deep is the one the targets are afraid of.

Ciao Paul and all,

any help you need to make the Scharnhorst model ( take the original TAMIYA of course ) just let me know ( camo, radar, A/A, guns, Torpedo,...etc etc ).

Just choose the period for your model.

Ciao Antonio :D

Scharnhorst's done, 1943 scheme, looks great. Gneisenau (Tamiya of course!) on the way. :D
