Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the battleship Bismarck in 1:800 scale from the South Korean manufacturer Academy. The small scale means a compact finished model and a low part count, so this is one of the most accessible ways of building this iconic ship. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Bismarck was a battleship of the Kriegsmarine, launched in February 1939 and taken into service in 1940. It measured roughly 251 meters in length and 36 meters in beam, the full load displacement was around 53000 tons and the top speed was over 29 knots. The main armament consisted of eight 380 mm guns in four twin turrets, complemented by a secondary and an anti-aircraft battery. The ship made a single combat sortie into the Atlantic in May 1941, during which it was sunk after a pursuit lasting several days by the Royal Navy. The silhouette with its massive superstructure, single funnel and characteristic arrangement of gun turrets is among the best known in naval history.
Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic, which is drawn into the joint by capillary action and leaves no squeeze-out. It is practical to paint the hull and the superstructures separately before the final assembly, as otherwise the lower decks are hard to reach. In such a small scale a thin layer of paint from an airbrush works best, so that the fine details are not flooded. Shade the deck on its own, and at the end a fine dark wash into the recesses and a dry brush on the edges of the superstructures help. We recommend adding a base or a glazed display case to the vessel, as a small model is easily damaged.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
