The first manual alone is 112 pages (landscape format) and has a staggering 612 constructional stages!

The detailed wooden or plastic fittings include portholes, anchors, anchor cables, headlights, flag-pole, hawse pipes, anchor capstans, life-boats, traffic boats, anti-aircraft artillery, triple turrets, torpedo pipes, masts and many more. The glossy lid itself is just a box cover, as when this is removed, the actual kit box is a complete one with a tabbed lid, making the whole thing very sturdy.The copilot of this particular aircraft was USN--a year and a half before the USA "officially" entered the War. This detailed model is a 1:200 scale model made of plastic hull and wooden decks containing also wooden and plastic fittings. Its mission: to attack the Allied convoys crossing the ocean between the United States and Great Britain with oil, food and other supplies.

The ship in the Denmark Strait sea battle, the Bismarck in the war less than ten minutes after the sinking of HMS Hood Battlecruisers known as the British Royal Navy proud. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power.Overall, our rendition of the Bismarck is a fantastic replica, complete with a plethora of intricacies and fine details. The ship was scuttled to prevent her being boarded by the British, and to allow the ship to be abandoned so as to limit further casualties. If you think a plastic kit with a fully injection-moulded hull sort of takes some of the fun away, then this could well be for you. Debate remains whether or not the ship sunk because of this or the damage inflicted by British warships.
