I've just started Tamiyas 1:350 Bismarck. How long do you think you need to finish it?

I have no idea how long this is going to take me, I've never built a ship before and i have a couple of projects to finish first so i have some room to work on this.

If you have any tips, please dispense them all. 🙂 I have a few ship kits in the stash. My older ship kits were painted with a brush, and didn't have lots of photo etch, so using an airbrush now, things are different, not sure how to best to go about things, other than gluing and sanding the hull parts first. Probably a good idea to paint and finish all the layered top deck sections, so that one doesn't require masking the wall from the deck/upper decks, if one were to glue all the parts together first. It would be important to make sure the deck housing parts fits nicely onto the deck parts.
