ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Gidday, it looks like you have quite a fleet, would like to see the rest when they are unpacked. The top photo, the ship with the red turret tops - the DKM Hipper? Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Agreed, looks like the 1/700 Trumpeter kit to me. Just a pity they moulded the hull split at the design waterline rather than the normal displacement one. Not impossible to fix but awkward! Mike.

It’s god damm awful kit with way to much detail, they should’ve done what Flyhawk does and added a PE kit. The water line issue is another thing as MikeR has pointed out and the paint scheme is not right as well. I get the feeling Trumpter went from a 1/350 etc and then down size it to a 1/700 and resulting with poo-poo all over the place. Won’t be build a Trumpter kit again for a long time. Be sticking to Flyhawk, Tamiya, Resin and the odd Revel or Airfix kit for Whiff build down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
