Just started to build this new model, after one year of construction of Amati's Endeavour in 1/80 scale, a gift from my wife that I kept waiting for more than 20 years. The propulsion plant originally designed to reach 138,000 hp and 29 knots actually obtained 150,170 hp and 30. Bismarck encountered the British battlecruiser HMS Hood and the battleship HMS Prince of Wales in the Denmark Strait during this mission. Atlantis includes a decal sheet with flags, splinter-stripes, and the false bow wave that will simplify painting.

But that's as much as I can say at this time because I haven`t got around to building it as yet so watch this space. The carrier Ark Royal was able to intercept the Bismarck with a flight of Fairey Swordfishes carrying torpedoes.

The Bismarck Battleship model is one of our great detailed kits for ship modelling enthusiasts from our Aeronaut product range.

Mixing a small amount of brown with red paint is an easy way to come up with your own antifouling red "custom mix" to paint below the waterline of this and other ship models.Prior to the battle with the HMS Hood, the remaining angled dazzle lines were painted over and the large deck swastikas were also painted over with gray. I know Amati went to great pains to get this right and used numerous contemporary sources for their information. Bismarck uses the same size box as the other large Amati releases, such as HMS Vanguard, HMS Revenge, Fifie, and the recent Orient Express Sleeping Car kit.
