About product

Bismarck, a plastic kit of the battleship, 1:350 scale, Tamiya

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German battleship Bismarck in 1:350 scale from Tamiya. At this scale it is a sizable ship model with a great many fine details: the hull skin carries engraved plating texture, and on the deck you will find the main armament turrets, superstructures, cranes, boats, ladders and companionways. A large stand with a nameplate for displaying the finished model is included in the package. The model builds as a full hull for a display case.

The real subject

The Bismarck was the largest and most modern battleship of the Kriegsmarine of her day, commissioned in 1940. Her main armament consisted of eight 38 cm guns in four twin turrets. She became famous during Operation Rheinübung in the spring of 1941: in the Battle of the Denmark Strait she sank the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, was hit herself and, in the pursuit of several days that followed and that drew in dozens of Royal Navy ships, was sunk on May 27, 1941. She is among the best-known warships of the twentieth century.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic parts with thin modeling cement for plastic, which melts the surface and binds the joint firmly. Apply a primer before painting; the painting itself is best done with an airbrush, and the hull is usually divided by color along the waterline: a lighter side, a darker underwater part and any camouflage stripes. Fill and clean up the fine superstructures and small parts (cranes, boats, armament) carefully. The model comes alive with a dark wash run into the engraved seams of the deck planking and with light weathering; anyone who wants to go further can add photo-etched railings and ladders from accessory sets to the hull and the decks.

Who the model is for

  • For modelers interested in warships of the Second World War and in the German Navy (the Kriegsmarine).
  • For builders of larger ship models who will appreciate the wealth of detail of 1:350 scale.
  • For collectors who want a showpiece model with a stand for a display case.
  • For more advanced beginners as well as experienced modelers who enjoy working with fine parts.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is an injection-molded plastic kit. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted, so the model has to be glued and painted. Glue and paints are not included in the package.

In 1:350 scale it is a large ship model about 70 cm long. Because of the size and the number of fine parts it is advisable to allow enough room both for building and for display.

Not necessarily; the model can be built straight from the box. Photo-etched railings, ladders and finer detail are an optional upgrade for more demanding modelers and have to be bought separately.
