But here come the really important things I picked up today - and another huge thanks to Steve aka Model Monkey. Gentleman Steve sent those to me:
and what is there to say? Just marvelous!! Perfect!
They look absolutely splendid, and they fit, as if they were just original from the dragon kit - or even better!
So here’s the old, ‘Scharnhorst’ version:
…and here is Gneisenau:
They make so much of a difference, and I was already about to give up…now that is one motivation booster! (if I only had time now, lots of traveling the next weeks, real life & navy issues…)
Here are some more impressions - I just cut them free and sanded the ‘connectors’ down, and even without any proper cleaning they look just great! (They will see some very light treatment and cleaning before painting…)
With that I’ll leave you for now, I hope I find some time next week but can’t promise. And if there’s time, it will be more 2 cm/C30…so not so much of an update…
Anyway, thank you all for looking in and all your kind comments, that’s really keeping motivation high!
Thank you and cheers
