DKM Gneisenau 1/350

Dear all,

a very brief update as I am pretty much again on my way to Kiel, where my 1:1 waits…

I got a little more small stuff installed - quite a lot is pretty similar on Gneisenau and Scharnhorst, that helps.

Gneisenau 42 - 2

Gneisenau 42 - 3

But other things are not, so when re-starting I stumbled upon something, the forward superstructure. While I decided not to check every porthole, doors are of some significance and ladders as well. So som parts have to go and/or be modified. A little more destructive work.

Gneisenau 42 - 6

Gneisenau 42 - 7

On other significant detail are those hatches all around on the main deck that only Gneisenau has. Scharnhorst has just a few, like those left and right of the bigger construction, that I will scratch build for Gneisenau.

So they look like that

and once more I got mail from fine gentlemen Steve Larsen aka Model Monkey, he produced those hatches for me and sent them over. As soon as I have them in my hands, I will present them here. Thank you again, Steve, you are just great!!

Cheers for now
Jan
