Matt -

Your research-fu is indeed strong! I can honestly say I've never seen any of the Tirpitz pics you posted, and whatever you build her in is going to be impressive. Have you given any thought as to what kit you might use when it comes round to that? I'm told the new Revell 1/350 Bismarck is quite good, but my understanding is that there's actually quite a bit of detail work to be done to turn her into Tirpitz.
