chris64 Posted January 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, I found this model battleship in a local op shop last weekend. It's 16.5 inches (42 cm) long and it doesn't have any identifying labels. I don't know much about ships. Could anyone please let me know what ship this model represents?

Captain Slog Posted January 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hi Chris, It looks like the Bismarck in what I believe is the Baltic colour scheme. There are a number of build logs of the Bismarck in the kit build log section of the forum.

chris64 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Hi Captain Slog, Gary and Robin Lous, Thank you all for your help!Cheers,Chris *EDIT: this webpage compares the Bismarck and Tirpitz - https://www.bismarck-class.dk/technicallayout/bismarck_vs_tirpitz/bismarck_vs_tirpitz.html - the model matches the Bismarck more closely based on the placement of the cranes and also fewer AA guns Edited January 12, 2017 by chris64 mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
