The Bismarck was next to the Tirpitz the largest battleship in the 2nd World War. The 251 m long ship was commissioned on 24.08.1940. After completing her training cruises, she took part in the Rhine Exercise. On 24.05.1941 she sank the British battlecruiser H.M.S. Hood in a sea battle off Greenland. Subsequently, the bow-damaged Bismarck set course for a French port. In pursuit by British ships and aircraft, the ship was shot out of action on May 27, 1941 and sank in the Atlantic. Finely textured components with rivets and countersunk sheet metal joints authentically reproduce this imposing battleship. Other features of the kit include movable gun turrets, with individual movable tubes.
