About the Series:

The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. With this new series, you have got the opportunity to build an impressive model in a scale of 1:200 (1.25ms long) - the finished model is faithful to the original and features intricate details.

In the magazine, you will find easy step-by-step instructions and learn more about the history of the Bismarck.

Named after the 19th century German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck's fame came from the Battle of the Denmark Strait in which the flagship and pride of the British Royal Navy, the battle cruiser HMS Hood, was sunk in May 1941, from Churchill's subsequent order to "Sink the Bismarck", and from the relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy which ended with her loss only three days later.
