But I wanted to ask: How many bags/packages of wood did you need, what's the stock # for the size you used and where on the ship did you start planking?
I know my Montana is alot bigger than Bismarck, but it'll still give me an idea of how much I'd need.
BTW: Happy New Year!

Believe it or not, this is the most difficult question I have had to field so far. I had a couple of packets leftover from my first build from Northeastern which were 12" long and I think 25 pieces in each. I also bought another 50 pieces 24" long from Kappler, but I did not use that full pack.
When I get home tonight I'll try & do a better tally of what I used, but I think 1 packet of 50 pieces of 24" long 1X3's should be good.
I ordered more because I have the Yamato & King George V to re-deck, so I will use them there.
