Customer Review: Model Ships
Summary: 5 Stars
i ordered both of these for my 14 year old grandson. He worked and almost completed the Tirpitz, but hasn't begun work on the Bismarck yet. I may save that for a Christmas 2008 gift. He is very happy with his models and knows that it takes patience and lots of time to complete a model to satisfaction. Some of the parts are so tiny, and he takes the time to trim anything that needs it, and to make sure all moving parts are moveable. I intend to order other models until my grandson tells me he doesn't want any more. Thanks also for your promptness in sending my orders. I feel I can count on you.
