Description: I have got to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. Pontos Models (Hobbyway, Inc.) is a world-class supplier of precision wood decks and state-of-the-art photo etched and turned metal parts from Korea. They have even partnered with other companies to provide some of the most comprehensive upgrade sets on the planet. If you have the base kit and the skills, this set will get you close to a museum-quality showpiece. You might still want to add a wooden deck, which is not included in this set (but I may still have one listed). This set will get your DKM Bismarck looking just as she did in 1941. In 2012, Trumpeter released a fantastic kit (TRP #3702) of the famed DKM Battleship Bismarck in 1/200 scale. As good as that kit is, aftermarket teams scrambled to create sets to allow for super-detailing and hyper accuracy. Pontos put together this massive Basic Detail Up set with enough parts to practically cover the Bismarck from bow to stern in the finest photo etched metal and turned brass. I found only one listing for this set on eBay (getting very hard to find), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in stock and can reliably ship this to you very quickly. Here is some of the info I found from around the web about this stunning and rare set: The Pontos website (pontosmodel.com) does a great job of showing you everything you get in this massive set. After looking through the high-resolution photos of the set installed on an unpainted kit, all of the turned metal barrels and masts, each of the eleven huge frets and all the resin, you will either be tremendously excited or absolutely terrified at the prospect of owning this Detail Up Set! They even give you the entire manual in full color so you know what you are getting yourself into. Without coming close to doing the set justice, they simply list the contents as: 1. Scribed Brass: 220 Pieces2. Photo Etching: 11 Sheets3. Resin parts: 22 Blast Bags and 25 Life Rings4. Dry Transfer: 1 Sheet5. Instruction Manual: 4 Sheets – 8 Pages Scalemates.com has a listing but doesn’t provide much information, other than confirming that this set was released in 2013 and is designed for the Trumpeter kit (#03702). There are many links to references and aftermarket parts that might be helpful. This set is in a long, thin box about 15” x 5” x 1”. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and has never been opened, being taped shut, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This incredible set contains 11 huge frets of photo-etched parts and a large number of resin parts and turned metal barrels that you would need to turn your own Trumpeter DKM Bismarck kit (TRP #3702) into a masterpiece of miniature nautical perfection! I use eBay Managed payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid and for a limited time, this dense (over a pound of metal) item is offered with $8 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
