Prinz Eugen 1:350?

Post by Karl Heidenreich »

Is it there a commercial available 1:350 Prinz Eugen? That´s because now I have Bismarck, Hood and PoW in thart scale and will like to have the ships involved in Denmarck Straits.

In that case, are there a Norfolk and a Suffolk?

Thanks.

There's a model in 1.350 by Iron Shipwright and I thinks it looks awful. Just look at the portholes, all over the place. But, a good introduction to resin modeling.

Those portholes aren´t acurate or plain invention?

Well, they're supposed to be on a striaght line and they're not, meaning the build quality is low.

Speaking of quality and being a modeler yourself; I just buyed the 1:350 Trumpeter Hood. I found it´s quality much better than the Tamiya´s 1:350 models (ladders, air blowers, portholes, corridors and hatches etc. etc. etc.). What do you think about that: is it a better crafted model than Tamiya?

Best regards.

I haven't had the opportunity to inspect the kit in person, but from the pics it looks like it's quite good. Certainly etter than their early Bis and Yamato kits. The recessed decklines are a good start and they added a lot of styrene hatches.

The 15" turrets are a bit ugly, but I have first hand information that WEM's replacement set will be excellent :angel:
