- Hi! Thanks for visiting the channel!
In this video, i am finishing the Trumpeter 1/200 Scharnhorst; Small parts, a float plane and weathering are today's subject.

I really liked your honest running commentary. One thing I would point out is that the hull shape has many of the same issues as Trumpeter's Bismarck, in that the anchor stowage points don't resemble at all the real items (front on Bismarck and obviously rear on Scharnhorst), and they share the same obvious stern error in that the stern's rear profile does not fall nearly straight down to the waterline, but instead deeply curves forward on the kit. The model's upper side did look extremely well detailed, aside the smooth hull. I am curious as to why the Rodney has plating and not this, and you are quite right to point this out.
Herr Peter, the final build looks outstanding. I always enjoy how good you are with all those PE parts, that must be very time consuming. You must have a huge livingroom to accommodate all those ships, and a understanding wife. Again excellent build and video, looking forward to the next episode. Have a great week and stay safe and healthy. 👍👍🇦🇹🤝🇺🇸
Thanks chris! I put the models for sale mostly as soon as they are finished so i can keep building, otherwise my flat would be full soon :) Stay safe as well my friend!
Great video and build thank you. I saw this model in a shop today and am tempted! Rob from England.
Hi Rob! Thanks very much, the kit is definitely a good one, and it will make for a great display once its finished, but its quite expensive!
Just received this kit! Can't wait to start! VERY GOOD work! This is my Favorite ship of the War!
Thanks! I am glad you like it! Have fun making yours!
Outstanding build. Really enjoyed watching this build come together
Hi! Thanks, i am glad you like it!
Also it's a shame that you had to cut out the swatstika, people these days just don't understand that's it's for historical accuracy
I guess it is a problem to have those symbols in a youtube video, so better leave it out. I will keep the decals so maybe if someone gets this ship, they can put them on to their liking
Also, it would be a bit of an awkward conversation if a friend visits the house and asks why you've got a massive swastika on your toy boat on the shelf.

@@7r47ufchfyw7twguwgu don't be pedantic, and always be honest about your hobbies.
@@josephlongbone4255 no sorry I ment but we all know what it really is
Watched you build and read your comments with interest, I see I'm not the only one who's all thumbs with PE parts I find them a struggle with arthritic fingers and as time goes buy I get more used to them but life would be so much easier if they were just a tiny bit thicker gauge.
That is a impressive kit and a outstanding build. I"am curious to your next build.
Hi Edwin! Thanks, i am glad you like it, it was a nice kit to make.
Wow o wow that’s some details looks amazing top job my friend 👍👍
Thank you! i am happy with the result as well, and glad you like it!
Never have built a 1/200 looks good
Amazing model my friend.
Thanks very much, friend! Weathering was a little rushed, but i think it turned out not too bad. pure oil weathering is my new favourite for ships as well, one can get very creative and they are super flexible!
Bravo !
Motivated to continue finishing my H-class ship projects, very well done indeed
Is that a hunt class destroyer?
@@josephlongbone4255 theyre Germany's "Super Battleships" Look it up
@@ottos_jagd842 another of Mr Hitler's mad plans? My favourite was his plans to build a transatlantic railway.
The British actually decided not to try and assassinate him as the war progressed. because his crazy ideas were more of a threat to the German war effort.
@@josephlongbone4255 Yes one of those. even the Plan Z which is the Plan of Expanding his Naval power about 50-60% from the British.
👍👍👍 very good.
Nice build, personally would have kept the swatstika, if some one comes into your house and see's a beautiful reproduction of a piece of history and thinks your some sought of Nazi sympathizer I'd be like " there's the door".

All ships should be 1/200 such a great scale Im currently building the Bismarck and loving it.
Well said
Grande veramente bella
I did this kit and found it very fun to do. Have you ever tried painting the structures and color variations in different tones and adding the little colors details to your builds? Like on the torpedo launchers, spotlights and aa Guns barrels etc... it would add a lot to the overall look, as it is quite monochrome... nonetheless very nice job!
My only gripe is with the Swastika on the forecastle. I know you didn't paint it in but that was ONLY used when these ships were transitioning out of the Denmark Strait to prevent accidental aerial bombing by friendly aircraft. The Bismarck most famously is ALWAYS pictured with it on her forecastle. As soon as the Bismarck exited the Denmark strait they painted the swastika over. The paint did not have time to cure so when she was sunk it peeled off exposing the Swastika under it. Why make a made with something that was only used in a very specific situation and for only a few hours at a time.
Great job she looks amazing, one thing I think could be improved on for the kit is the main guns don't have any covers, if you look at the Dragon 350 model you can see what I mean.
nice job, just two things, the double secondary 150mm guns with the quadruple flak 38 above do not go aft but forward,(you have reversed the position) the color of all aa guns is black not ship gray, only the gray base ,the waterline is too thin in the Germans it was 2.50 meters
in 1/200 scale 9/10 millimeters, the trumpeter model still looks good even if some details are missing both on the hull (the armor has not been demarcated) and on the superstructures (the funnel is not entirely exact) the blastbags are missing in all guns except the 105, however, nice job
Thanks for the infos! i usually built what i get from the kits, but for those who like to replicate the models in a most realistic way, those are very useful!
I think you should use some wash ,or oil paints on the deck ,the simple wood color is so boring i think
And a the structure under the main turrets need to be painted grey too
Btw its a nice build 😉
Yes i saw it too when watching the finished video, the barbette under the secondary turret was oversprayed with wooden colour as well, i fixed it but didnt update the video because it is just a small issue that is now rectified
Hi Peter, beautiful model of a beautiful ship and your craftsmanship is excellent. I have purchased the Revell 1/350 Tirpitz platinum series (approx 2200 parts) can you please tell me what type of super glue you use (is it gel and what drying time fast or moveable) and do you bend the PE with ultra small pliers or tweezers. The amount of PE in my model is unbelievable. Also it has the wooden decks do I stain them and clear coat them.
Impressive build! You have inspired me to pick up my 1/200 Bismarck again. Did the metal railings come with this kit? My Bismarck doesn't seem to have any...
Hi! Thanks for the compliments! Those railings were included in the kit.
Hi, would you suggest this kit to a begginer to scale modelling like me? Currently building the bismarck 1/200 from hachette but its not exactly a plastic kit. Should i get more experience before i get my hands on a kit like this?
SUPER🔝Ahoi Peter
Intresting idea to sell the modells🤔(I also live in small flat in the attic,and space is luxery...but i gave a few modells away as a gift,so its okay)
However.Yeah the price for modells sometimes are very high and i have to wait for bigger things in 1:200●
I'm doin good with 1:350 Scale.The only 2 modells i like to buy in 1:200 is Titanic and maybe a German U - Boat...which is another scale but big.
As much as like Navy Ships,i like to build Oceanliner.I wish there would be the Rms Mauretania in 1:350 - 1:200 Scale or the late Rms Olympic in her last year around 1937...or the Old Queen Mary which is in Long Beach now.
However.
Its a never ending story,its the same with music,cause i'm a musician for over 41 years(breadless art😁)
Anyway,nice video,top modell,exellent work(I really like the Arado 196👌》I buildet the Arado 196 in 1:48 scale from Tamija 2 Month ago and it was so much fun after building all those mini Arados 196 on the DKM Ships.

Hi Jochen! I usually sell my models for the price of the kit that i have paid, sometimes even less, so it is not to make money from it, just to get something back for the considerable time we spend on this great hobby. So i am glad there are people who like my models enough that they pay for it!
I would like to make an ocean liner in the future as well! i once made a SS United States in 1:400 (i think) from Revell and it was quite bad, so im not sure where to start.
The best thing about 1/200 for me is that you can imagine the details of a ship much differently from 1/350, where many parts are only schematically represented, which are detailed and consist of several parts in 1/200. I have never been on a ship bigger than 10 meters, so i really like to get impressions of big ships!
@@funinscale2892 Hello Peter
The SS United States was a nice ship.But the modell from Revell(i was building it in 1978,was not a good modell and it had a small size so you buildet maybe the bigger version from it.
Well i remember i had a lots of problems with modell,but around that time in 1978 i didn't had that skills that i have today.
Oceanliner has a lots of tricky curves and you need a lot of superglue.
As much as i like the tools from Revell,but a few of their modells has too many silly details and the contruction plans are many times not correct.
So its always 50% Problem and 50% Fun.
The new modells are a little bit better but anyway.
Well the biggest ship i ever was on was the Car Ferry Schleswig Holstein in Cuxhaven around 1979.I think 130 meters.Me and my parents wanted to visit some family from my father in Denmark.Well it took one hour or so until we reached the Danish coast.How ever it was great and i still smell the diesel and the seawater.Now that ship wasn't so big,but you could feel the power of maschines.Very nice.My father also was a sailor and he was on ships for over 15 years somewhere between 1946 or so until the late fievties.So there is a deep love for ships and the ocean inside of me.Normaly i should live there but i don't I'm a musician and things turned the other way.
However one of my Oncles was in World War 2 on the DKM Bismarck but only for a visit cause he was at the DKM on a S -Boat...However have no clue how this came together,but i think that he knew Admiral Lütjens which was born in Wiesbaden like my oncle,so i think that is why.
I'm also born in Wiesbaden just a few blocks away from the street where Lütjens was born so that closes the circle.
Well my oncel often told me how impressed he was when he had a chance to be on board of the Bismarck.She was a Monster.
How ever i think if you ever have a chance to get the book》Titanic Queen of the Ocean by Ken Marshall you should buy.Awesome photo book with drawings and details all over.Somehow i don't have it anymore cause over the years,-I lost many things.
You can get this by Booklooker for a 20 euros or so.Normarly it was more expience.
I think if you like the scale 1:200 that much,the Titanic from Trumpeter will does it to you.
I buildet the Titanic from Airfix in 1:400 and became very well.But it took me 2 month to build it.
Anyway.I have a very special relationship with Titanic,cause some of my family in denmark wanted to go to america on Titanic in the third class,but never reached the promised land....Its not normal that i had all these people in my family that had all of these historical backround with these ships.
Its a mystery...
Anyway.
Have a nice day🍀
Best regards and wishes to Östereich🇦🇹

I really like your building style; impressive. Which Airbrush gun do you use?
Hi! Thank you very much! I use a Paasche Talon with a 0.4mm nozzle. It is the only one i have, and it is a great airbrush, but the next model will probably be another company because in europe, it is difficult to get spare parts, alternative nozzles and needles for a reasonable price.
hei Peter, fantastisk jobb!!!...the Arado plane is super, i did it from italeri 1/32 a few mounth ago!!...but why you havent use the washering tecnic to the plane???...and is always necessary use the markfix for decals??...congratulations and we are waiting the next model!!😎😎😎...greatings Roberto
Hi Roberto!Thanks, i am glad you like it! in 1/32 it is sure a big model! I didnt do a wash on the plane as the superstructure is not weathered as well, so i didnt want to make it dirtier than the surroundings.
The mark fit for the decals is especially useful if the model part where you want to apply the decal is not a straight surface, with the mark fit, the decal will take the shape of the model part much better, for example panel lines on the plane's wings.
@@funinscale2892 --On the subject of the plane,did they use 'over land' camouflage on the real thing ? Superb build BTW.
@@busking6292 Hi! I am not entirely sure, the paint scheme indicates the green and brown camouflage, but that cant be trusted 100%. I have a kit from airfix in 1/72 of a Walrus Floatplane, and the Fleet Air Arm version has this camouflage as well, so i guess airfix can be trusted more on British subjects. Not sure though
@@busking6292 Sorry, i thought this was about the HMS Rodney in the first comment, i just saw its about the Scharnhorst, but Its a similar answer, the paint scheme indicated it but i am not sure if it is true, didnt look up sources either
How long does it take to finish a model this size?
I am thinking of buying the 1/200 Bismarck for 212 €. Would that be a good thing to do ?
Im building a 570 scale scharnhorst at the moment but i was wondering why you had applied the camouflage of the bismarck on here
cause it looks cooler
What did you do with the vessel after you finished it ?
Hi mario! I had it displayed in a shelf for some weeks, then someone wanted to buy it and i gave it away
@@funinscale2892 I really enjoy your tutorial videos ; well done and very good opinions and ratings on the kits. For me it would be hard to part with a ship. At this time I'm working on the 1/350 Hood and have had to do a lot of sanding and modifying this Trumpeter kit I have had in my stash for 12 years. Its coming along nicely.
and sorry for my bad english!!!😂😂
Can you do 1/200 R.M.S. Titanic by Trumpeter please ?
The Scharnhorst is great :D
Thanks Joe :D i haven't built a cruise liner yet, i would start with a smaller scale before i would make a 1/200, but it would be definitely a cool project! Maybe if they have it on sale somewhere...
@@funinscale2892 I can understand you because the Titanic in 1/200 is the biggest plastic model which we can buy. And he is enourmous (~1,2 meters length), i saw it in some videos (I didn't build it, he is too much expansive). So if you wanna start with a smaller scale, you should build the R.M.S. Mauretania in 1/600 scale from Airfix, he is not too much big and he is easy to build
Everything is cool, but the paint scheme is not correct) There was no such color either on Scharnhorst or on Gneisenau. It was possible to make a historical Scharnhorst paint scheme for the beginning of 1940. Just a series of black and white stripes on the hull of the ship, without any stripes on the settings) There are now enough books about German camouflages, even in the public domain.
Thats true, but i like this one, looks cool in my opinion. I dont strive for historical accuracy, i prefer keeping it simpler and doing what i enjoy
“I don’t want to have huge swastikas standing around in my living room”
Now I like this guy even more
Eh, not big enough. You should have built a 1/1 scale 😏
I will try making a ship for my cat in 1/1 scale :D.
How very woke of you
unfinished. 0/10. where are the bad logos?!?!?!
