chris64 Posted January 8, 2017 #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? Cheers, Chris Edited January 8, 2017 by chris64 thibaultron, CaptainSteve, EJ_L and 1 other 4
Captain Slog Posted January 8, 2017 #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.

Morgan Posted January 8, 2017 #3 Posted January 8, 2017 Hi Chris, Looks like the Bismarck or Tirpitz, if you google you will find images. Gary mtaylor, EJ_L and thibaultron 3
