Nice idea.. I drive on motorbikes from my 10 years. Before only motorbikes made in Czechoslovakia, like JAWA and CZ.. Later first Japan m.b. HONDA VF 750F (nice too) and finally I am driving on Honda CBR XX Superblackbird.
I will folow your new build. I am looking forward.

Very very nice model and precision work. I especially like it weathering... Beautiful ship.

Sorry Lou. I wrote bad my think. I have problem with control and flip my thinking... when ship cruising from me and I push controller to left a ship will turn to left. When a ship cruising direction to me and I push controler to left again a ship will turn to right... This is my problem. I have to focus on that change. I know it will get better over time.

I remember this topic what you write now in my previous building log. We've taken it over before using engines... But a new and very good idea is abot micro switches on the arms of servo. This ideas is "family silver" for me.

Thank you.

What a fantastic build Jan. The RC is the icing on the cake. Just beautiful. Congratulations and well done, Sir! 👏👏👏

I already mentioned that I really enjoy the praise. And I know that many of you have great experience and nice models. That's all the more ...

Thank you Grant.

Amazing build and a great video.  Thanks for showing it to us, Jan.  The camo design seems to have an effect as sometimes (to my eyes) it's going backwards.  I know it's not though.

Thank you Mark. Before I decided to build. I knew I would focus on two main things. Camouflage and rigging. I used realistic photos trying to create as much as possible similar to the real Bismarck. Because I saw several buildings and many of them had bad camouflage from my point of view. 😉

Thanks for the Video Jan.

I was into RC for a number of years and there is nothing like seeing your efforts sailing over the "Sea" in pursuit of the enemy! The day was too bright and calm though. It should have been more gray and gloomy. 

Lou. I have basic problems, when ship cruising direct to me problem for me send it left or right... So storm or dark.. ??? uhhh 
Next time I want testing lights in the dark. That pool will probably be too small for me ...  🙂

You are a very brave man Jan. Floating this monster requires a certain dose of courage, especially after all the efforts you put into building it.

 

The only Bismarck I "floated" was an old Lindberg Bismarck kit (1/350th) with a two ways radio control in it. It was a lot of fun.

 

Yves

Yves. Its not about my courage, its about my naiv more times... I don't realize what can happen.

I found this models on the net also Tirpitz. I never hear about this brand. It must be older. Its made in USA
When I was a small boy we had all "made in Czechoslovakia, Rusia and east Europe countryes." We had also
good products, but small assortment.

Jan.

I am bringing video of first voyage. Its possible watch also in 1080p quality...

Sorry Its not so good because I still have not some holder for camera. In one hand radio controll and second camera.

Next video I want made in dark. I want see lights on the ship and use some camera holder...

That is truly impressive. What a beautiful model.

 

I love the fact that you decided to do the early "Camouflage" painting, that you installed all the lights and to top it off, that you made the model floating and RC controlled. What a fantastic achievement.

 

Yves

I wrote before that I saw your u-boat before I start Build my Bismarck.
So I thought I had to try to be good. 
so your recognition was very pleasing
Thank you 🙂

That Sir, IMHO, is an excellent example of what model ship building can be. You set a high standard for us mere mortals to strive for.

The pictures aren't too shabby either.

Cheers, Harley

Thank you Mr. Harley

Words that really please and make me feel good. 🙂
