    Great video. I would love to have these models. I keep building plastic models, but they turn out alright, not good, but not bad.
    Also, even though it doesn't matter, the Missouri was not in Vietnam, that was only the USS New Jersey, a fellow Iowa.

    British Aircraft Carrier HMS Ark Royal is out :) A superb model... Also here in England the KM Tirpitz Norway 1943 paint scheme and USS Missouri Tokyo Bay 1945 different paint scheme .( Not seen your Tirpitz or Missouri with your paint schemes here in UK ) Also according to forces of valor catalogue, next aircraft carrier out is supposed to be USS Hornet. ( Midway ? ) Would of been nice for Authenticity purposes to have provided a Swastika in the form of a Transfer/Decal to be applied by the owner if wished...This needs to be considered for future reference if Forces of Valor ever decide to release the " Ugly Sisters " the German Battle Cruisers KM Scharnhorst and KM Gneisenau who both sported the swastika, mainly for aircraft recognition. Last but not least I hope FOV release a British battleship from King George V class.

    • @hiredugarn1
      @hiredugarn1  9 років тому +1

      Hey Neil. The HMS Ark Royal IS a superb model. I also like your Swastika sticker idea! Hopefully Unimax will include that on their next iteration of the Bismarck. heh One can hope... Meanwhile, I heard the USS Hornet will rock the Doolittle Raid scheme. And yep, the "Ugly Sisters" and King George V class would be awesome. I'm also hoping that Unimax will flesh out the rest of the Iowa class and gives us a "Musashi" since the molds already exist.
      Anyway, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. :)

    The Iowa class was made to go through the Panama canal with in only 6 inches to a foot per side depending on who you talk to, thats why they are so narrow, but very fast. The fire control system for the 16 inch guns was so accurate that even in the 80s and 90s it wasn't upgraded with all the other upgrades to the Iowa class ships.

    It also bombed the French Fleet. She was a Battlecruiser with 15 inch guns. Upgraded and as good on paper as Bismarc. In terms of armor and guns. Hood sailed the seas for over 20 yrs and Bismarc sank with wet paint. Hood was longer than Bismarc.

    To be historically accurate the Bismarck ONLY had the Swastika's pained on the decks when she was transiting out to see so German Aircraft didn't accidentally bomb her. By the time of the battle of the Denmark Strait the Swastika's were painted over. They were NOT a permanent part of her pain scheme.

    Quality control is a problem with all the pre-made diecast models. It truly is hit or miss! Some vendors say they inspect the model for defects before they ship but I have received many models with obvious defects that were missed. I repair them if possible. With your Bismarck I would look at the production variation as a foreshadowing of its fate! Actually it really is not all that noticeable, I have seen much worse production variations as the manufacturers call them.

    Navis Neptun Spidernavy at 1:1250 scale are simply stunning if you can find them at reasonable prices. Force of Valor are nice, but still look too much like toys. No rigging and the masts look like an afterthought and are molded rather poorly in several instances. The USS Enterprise is fairly impressive, however.

Because USS Iowa is better equipped for environment, it have far more advanced radar, firing control system and rangefinder. USS Iowa is able to sail at 33+ knots which IJN Yamato could only do 27 knots, USS Iowa is more maneuverable and it's firepower known as 16 inch guns have superior accuracy over the IJN Yamato's huge 18 inch guns. USS Iowa have far superior and more experienced crew and this will be a low difficulty for USS Iowa to sink IJN Yamato.
