Being from a warship forum ( stop booing at the back) i can tell you that out of 17 members who started a bismarck only 1 finished it,

well i dont think i will start mine it will gather dust some where in the house

What scale is it in? I've seen some of those battleship models, and they're quite impressive. I don't know if I could do the tiny PE on those sets, it's bad enough doing it in 1/16! My fingers are way too big for anything smaller, lol.

yuppp!!! haha

hi rik it about three foot long loads of brass and wood and is made by hachette build the bismarck

I have all the parts (I hope) for the Red Baron model sitting in a box in a wardrobe. I'm sure I'll get around to it one day.
On a side note I hope this thing is never released in Australia, I would never pay that sort of money for a static model but at $10 a week it would be tempting.

yep got that one to under my bed not started aswell tri wing one

Thats a big bugger! lol I've seen the 1/350 scale Iowa class models. The look interesting to build, but require a LOT of patience, so many tiny parts!

I'm sure Trumpeter will get round to doing a static Tiger with full internals eventually. The T-34 and King Tiger kits are very impressive, but as you say, its a lot of money for a static kit.
