Well knowing Jim as long as I do, I am quite easly swayed as well. We were both building the Sovereign of the Seas at the same time, and now, after many telephone discussions and seeing how the Bismarck came out, I have decided to give the Missouri a try as well. I have ordered the Trumpter kit along with the 2 Prontos add in kits. One thing that I will be questioning later on is the assembly of the brass pieces. Would it be better to join the parts with CA glue or to try and solder them together with a fine flamed slodering gun and super fine solder. Decisions, decisions.
I have not been on in quite some time. I even forget what the last build was that I posted on here. But I will be watching in earnest how your Missouri build goes, and as in times gone by, we will be in discussion of the builds as they progress.
Great work on the Bismarck and the build log of same.
