Review: Alles super macht echt Spaß Review: I'm always seeking large WWII model kits to assemble. Nothing makes for a more compelling model than a big kit well assembled and accurately painted. The big three kit manufacturers I most rely on for historic accuracy and manufacturing quality is Tamiya, Revell of Germany and Hobby Master. This kit of the Bismarck is right down my line of interest. It is properly rated Level 5 for difficulty and complexity and when you open the big colorful box it comes in, you'll know why. The parts trees are many and on some there are almost 100 parts. There is also an extensive decal sheet (one would not think there would be one for a ship model) with very helpful waterline striping lines. If there is any indication of how detailed and accurate this kit is there is 101 steps in the kits assembly in its 28 pages of instructions, not including the painting chart and historical information page. I have been assembling model kits since 1960 and have sen the hobby develop and mature into what it is today. For example, here is a kit for almost every conceivable version of the Messerschmitt Bf-190 fighter, when I started there was one, from Aurora, it cost $1.98 then. To be honest in my review, I've just finished assembling and painting the hull and am awaiting paints and tools I need to make the kit a success and will be happy to post a final review when completed. Oh, one more thing. To be a successful model builder with kits of this scale and size one essential trait is required: patience. I recall when much younger I was in such a hurry to finish the little kits that they looked just as hurried as I was to play with them. At my current age, you don't play with a 42" German U-Boot model. It stays in its acrylic case, as ship will, for all to see and admire.
