The Bismarck was the largest battleship in World War II. The 251 m long ship was commissioned on 24.08.1940. After completing the training trips, she took part in Operation Rheinübung. On 24.05.1941 she sank the British battlecruiser H.M.S. Hood in a naval battle off Greenland. Subsequently, the Bismarck, damaged at the bow, set course for a French port. During the pursuit by British ships and aircraft, the ship was shot down on 27.05.1941 and sank in the Atlantic. Finely structured components with rivets and recessed sheet metal joints authentically reproduce this imposing battleship. Other features of the kit include the movable turrets, with individual movable barrels.
