Why this kit matters
The Bismarck and Tirpitz were two of the most formidable battleships of the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. The Bismarck, launched in 1939, became famous for its role in the Battle of the Atlantic, where it sank the HMS Hood before being sunk itself. The Tirpitz, sister ship to the Bismarck, served as a significant threat to Allied convoys until it was neutralised in 1944.
These ships symbolised naval power and engineering prowess, making them iconic subjects for model builders. This kit allows enthusiasts to recreate these legendary vessels with intricate detail, offering a glimpse into naval history and the engineering marvels of the era.
How to use it
