Explore the Legendary Bismarck - Germany's Flagship

In the annals of naval history, the Bismarck ranks among the most iconic German warships, second only to the Tirpitz. With an impressive displacement of 50,900 tons and a dedicated crew of 2,092 men, she proudly served as the flagship of the Germany Navy.

Commissioned on August 24, 1940, the Bismarck set sail on May 18, 1941, embarking on Operation Rhine Exercise. Teaming up with the Prinz Eugen, British reconnaissance planes spotted them early. The fateful encounter with the Hood occurred on May 24, 1941, leading to the sinking of the Hood by the Bismarck.

Following a protracted pursuit, the Bismarck faced a torpedo strike from an aircraft on May 26, 1941, and was ultimately intercepted by the British battleships King George V and Rodney. On May 27, 1941, the Bismarck met her fate, scuttled by her own crew 490 km off the French coast.

This model kit offers a detailed waterline hull, intricately crafted deck surfaces, realistic gun turrets, and cranes, providing an authentic representation of this historic vessel. The paint scheme faithfully captures the Bismarck's distinctive appearance.
