Bismarck Warship

surprised to find this one. Small but brings back memories. Dad got this for me when i was 10 back in 1968. my very first model i built. small but fun to build

This is a model kit for someone with experience and patience. The pieces are extremely small and some are delicate. It was a lot of fun building this one but the hard part was painting it. The deck and hull should be painted before the super structure is glued on. Some of the secondary guns are blocked by other parts making painting difficult. Also the two air planes are difficult to get to so those should be painted before they're glued down. All in all this is a detailed and inexpensive kit.

It's about half a foot long and about an inch or two wide, so it's a small ship.. It has around 25 pieces. The pieces are small, can be hard to fit in the hull, and can break easily. Painting's not a problem if you don't follow the paint guide. The turrets won't fall off, but won't rotate either. I don't recommend using it as a toy because some pieces are fragile. Plus, there is no swastika decal to place on the deck. For $7, it's a decent model and is fairly quick to build.
