Turret C

Holger Kranich Autor
Just a dry fit, but its impressive in its size... Now i need the rest of the ship.😉

Wim van der Luijt
Cool! Count me in.....

Derek Huggett
ROFL!! 👍

Michael Hickey
It looks very impressive.👍

Erwin Leetink
It would be a mere 3,26 metres long 😛

Holger Kranich Autor
Imagine this one in 1:35! 😄

Kim Branders
Following Holly.

Mike Kryza
Oh Holly, no tracks, no wheels, no wings!? 🙂🙂🙂

Alec K
Sweet project 👍

Clifford Keesler
Wow big gun.

Stephan Ryll
Bum bum bum😉 nice subject Holger 👍

Neuling
Looking forward .........

Augie
IIRC same turret as was for Bismark? imagine the size of the model for that!

Joerg R.
Nope, it's from Gneisenau. Bismarck had double turret. Nice Holgi, keep on going👍👍

Tim Heimer
Too cool!

Norbert Steffens
I'm in. I have been thinking to buy this kit also. Fine

Holger Kranich Autor
Hey and welcome all!🙂 Make yourself comfortable and pass the chips and beer. Ok, its a little bit early for beer in germany but who cares...😉 This kit has a nice addition . It has TWO 12,8 cm AA Twins included. That would make a nice dio. Can anyone build dio´s?😎

Tim Heimer
I think everyone enjoys Dio's! That's why I try to incorporate them in mine.

Erwin Leetink
I usually prefer larger scales, but it will be quite problematic to do this in 1:35...

Slavo Hazucha
Are you thinking about a garden diorama Holger? 😄

Christian Meyerhoff
Well, I had the chance to take a look at this one when I visited Holger two weeks ago. Very, very nice!

Holger Kranich Autor
Jep Slavo, this will become a part of the fortification in my garden.😉

Stephan Ryll
Part of „Holgie's Westwall"😉

Holger Kranich Autor
Atlantic Wall, please!😉

Stephan Ryll
You're right Holger 🙂 I was on the wrong side of Germany😉

Erwin Leetink
Here some more info and interesting pictures 🙂

@ Erwin: Very cool link! Thx! Its a shame that the turret and rangefinder are seem to be scrapped in 2001...

Erwin Leetink
You're welcome 🙂 I see no information on scrapping the turret? It has been a museum since 1991 and the sites I find are newer than this.

Holger Kranich Autor
Ah my bad! It was the coastal battery of Fjell that has been scrapped! 👍

Erwin Leetink
Lucky us 😄

Thomas Mayer
You too, Holger? Stated this one a week ago while exhibiting on the Modellbau Süd in Friedrichshafen.

Holger Kranich Autor
Yeah Thomas, the turret is finished, now the 12,8 twins. But i am far away from any paintjob.😉 I shot this kit as a bargain while Sommerfest MBK this year.

Kerry COX
These gun systems are becoming popular builds. 👍
I am waiting on the IJN Anti Aircraft triple in 1/35 to arrive. 🙂

Holger Kranich Autor
Yep im became a fan of those systems! IJN Triple? A new kit, i dont know?

Joerg R.
Triple from Fine Molds, as far as I know

Kerry COX

Holger Kranich Autor
Oh yes, thats a nice one! 🙂

Martin Oostrom
I want one as well! But there is so much out there that I want 😄

Kerry COX
Now that CAD is such a huge part of designing the injection moldings, there is nothing that can't be turned into a kit. 👍
Diversity of subject matter will only get larger now. 🙂 🙂

Holger Kranich Autor
And that is pretty good! Maybe some more young modelers will appear? I don't want to think about the countdown to extinction... just kidding😢

Kerry COX
Modelling has never been so good. !
No wonder I am continuously broke. ! hahahahahaha 👍

Kerry COX
I wonder how long it will be before some adventurous modeller will super detail the kit with working breaches and full interior. !
Just lift the top............................and say hello. ! 😉

Peter Hardy
Might be a Kerry Cox?

Kerry COX
Maybe. When I have built the ones I have on the go now. 😉

Peter Hardy
Hang on! You have more on the "go" than I do! That might be years!

Kerry COX
Peter. I have just had a whole lot of 'pressure' lifted off my shoulders. I will PM you. 👍

Peter Hardy
Holly, how big is this thing? I just noticed the scale!

Treehugger
Hehe imagine a 1:72 figure next to this thing. 🙂
