Fleetscale market their products largely as 'semi kits' .Some people just want a hull and will build the rest themselves, others will buy extra components and fittings to supplement the hull but there is always likely to be an element of scratch building required as well.

As you will have seen, buying everything will be quite expensive and still won't give you a complete kit in most cases. You need to plan your project carefully.

Personally I prefer Nelson/Rodney – everyone does Bismarck!

The other fatal floor was having I believe only three props at the rear, this of course meant that when a ww1 vintage aircraft dropped a ww1 vintage torpedo on the stern and disabled the rudder the ship did not have sufficient power available to effect steering using differential prop control with only 1/3 power available one side, and being close to the centreline..
The (sunk) armoured conning tower is apparently said to resemble swiss cheese from the number of holes in it from the 14" guns of the KG5. As DK Browns book says, the 14 inch weapon was an adequate gun, despite the smaller size.​ Oddly enough the rate of fire from these guns was not all it might appear to be (the smaller gun having a better rate of fire) as the deciding factor in speed of shooting was seeing WHERE the shots fell on the target and adjusting before the next shot….and with flight times of perhaps 20+ seconds….

Andy, I think you are getting characters mixed up. Excusable when you don't pay so much attention to their faces….
