1 /350 Tamiya Bismarck Review

By: Jason P (Peterborough ON)

This is an excellent kit for the price. The kit is very solid and well built. No warped or missing parts and very little fitting to repair. The hull, 3 piece deck, superstructure, turrets are very well detailed and fit very well together and Tamiya also includes the sketches for the Bismarck's dazzle camouflage paint schemes. This kit does not have the railings included for the die hard enthusiast but I have been told are available in a photo etching kit that might still be available through Tamiya. Exercise caution when removing masts from moulded carrier and also aligning the propeller shaft struts on the hull. If you are off a degree the shafts will not sit properly and look bent. You will also need to use putty in these areas to ensure the struts and shafts exit points from the hull look smooth before painting. All in all a great kit!

Bismarck 1:350

By: rafterrat_2005 (Salisbury , N.C.)

The packing was excellent, trees were bagged individually except a few that were doubled with foam separation the tree's. Care was taken in all parts. Building this kit was exciting with tons of detail, the tooling was also excellent along with building pictures. Over all no complaints what so ever. JOB WELL DONE!
