Andrew:
I'll be back dating to 1941 in line with my idea of building a 'series' of ships centred around the Bismarck episode... Hopefully I can get it right...Any thoughts on good reference material would be appreciated.
Tim:
In all honesty I don't mind having to do the filler/sanding required to get a neat finish... it's kinda therapuedic![]()
Rumaging through the kit last night and found a set of Master Model barrels that I had completely forgot I had bought. So they'll be going on too!![]()
Russell if you want a good reference Book, look out for the Kagero Book on her. I have several in the Series and they are brilliant. They give you fold out Charts in 1-350 for Painting reference and Line Drawings in 1-350 also....Cheers mark
Hi Russel
As far as I know, the Eagles of all Kriegsmarine vessels were removed at the beginning of the war, together with any shields on the bow. I have a book about her, but its unfortunately packed now in my moving boxes.
Btw do you know this webpage http://www.prinzeugen.com ?

Hi Russell,
yes, Heim ins Reich! Back to Europe.
Have you ever tried to move with some shipmodels and a lot of planes?![]()
My book is btw from the smae Paul Schmalenbach whose test is on that webpage. He was Prinz Eugens former gunnery officer and on board during Rheinübung until the end of the war.
@Julien: I think Graf Spee's eagle was still on board because she was already at sea at the stat of the war.

Thanks mate.![]()
From what I understand they were able to salvage the eagle from the Graf Spee?
Hi Russell
Th Book is: Kreuzer Prinz Eugen unter 3 Flaggen from Paul Schmalenbach (Cruiser under 3 Flags), ISBN 3782207394, unfortunately only in german as far as I know. Contains a lot of detail drawings and descriptions from the original documents.
Also have some information about the history.
