Greetings!Gentlemen,
In connection with your forum posted recently regarding the difference between Bismarck model kits from academy and tamiya.I would rather say here in Manila,Philippines if youre going to roam around the hobbyshops there prices are always the same Academy kit is much lower than Tamiya.My first Bismarck kit is 1/350 scale Academy I really did enjoy working on it,this model has a sentimental value for me coz it was given to me by my late father as a gift on my birthday.But recently,it shows that there is much cheaper kit from Academy with the same size/scale its like a combination of Tamiya and Academy but the only concern is that of the plastic somewhat class-B you have to be more patient and add more adhesive on it. The kit that Im pertaining to is Mini-hobby this is my second Bismarck model after 12yrs.Try it I would say 2 thumbs up! Great Value too.
