Guys,
I got a 1:400 Heller Model of the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Scheer.. i'll post photos, when i can ok.. it's going to take a while, Im going to need my dad's help, so i dont know when shes going to be done.. So if any of you have any Ideas, that would make me happy ok... Do I have to make her in the actual color she had in WW 2 or not?

Hi Nikki you dont have to make it in the actual colours - it is really down to you and what you feel happy and able to do.

I agree with Terry, it's really up to you.

Hi Nikki,

Not a criticism but you seem to have a passion for the German capital ships. Granted they were great looking vessels but so were so many allied ones. Why not Arizona and the US Greats, Hood albeit her age, POW, Barham etc.

Put it down to ideal curiousity.

Keep building ....... Dave H
