midnightprowler Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Was there or is there a plastic kit of the German battleship Bismarck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Does the pope crap in the woods? Wait.... But yes. There are many to choose from in multiple scales. How big of a model are you looking for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nerdling Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) there have been plenty of them. it really depends on which scale you are looking for. https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/browse.php?s=0&pg=1&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber&so=a&kw=bismarck 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.

Don Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Tamiya makes...or made...a 1/350 scale Bismarck that was pretty sweet: http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/tam/build_tam_78001.shtml It can still be found on EBay. HTH. Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is also a 1/400 Heller kit, Lindberg does one as well but I'd stay away from that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Does anyone have experience with the Lindberg Bismarck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nerdling Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) 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.

rm20886 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
