there have been plenty of them. it really depends on which scale you are looking for.

I've read in a few places that the Revell 1/350 kit seems to be the best. it is also the most expensive though.

In 1/700 you have Dragon, Revell, Aoshima, etc.

1/350 there is again Revell, Trumpeter, Tamiya among others.

I think trumpeter may also have one in 1/200. Did airfix err do Bismarck in 1/600?

Yup Airfix did one in 1/600. There is also a 1/400 Heller kit, Lindberg does one as well but I'd stay away from that one.

Does anyone have experience with the Lindberg Bismarck?

I've never built it myself, but from these photos it looks really bad http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/7/t/140139.aspx

Compared to the Revell kit http://www.florymodels.co.uk/revell-1350-bismark/

The bow on the Lindberg just looks off to me.

I built the Lindberg kit when I was a kid. It was quick and easy to build and gave me many hours of happiness running the motorized model in our swimming pool.

Detail, not much of that.

I would recommend the Revell or Tamiya kits.

Yep, Bismarck and Hood. Not very good models but I had fun building them with my dad and sailing them around in Lake Tahoe.
