    DKM Bismarck Picture Sites?

    Hi, I built the Supermodel 1/200 model of the Bismarck - talk about a walking nightmare - it took me 18 months, but it was worth it. That is for static scale or radio control, built my way I don't suppose any Supermodel kits are out there anymore, but if I was going to challenge myself...

    USS Tennesse BB43

    Hi, I build ALL of my warship models out of card, with working (revolving turrets) and I build them strong but lite, like wood - oh and all of my warship models are designed by me, to my own building technique for radio control, working, on the water.

    Fly Model Nr 130 , HMS. RODNEY

    Hi, I have HMS Rodney - but my model kit is a Maty Modelarz and I have a small detail scale plan and probably a large plan too. I built the model based on the Maty Modelarz kit but photocopy enlarged to 1/100 scale. It made for an impressive model but went the way of numerous other...
