I’ve been catching up on posting all the models Obed Gordon Franco sent me… Honestly it’s been long overdue. Anyway, here’s the German Battleship Bismarck papercraft .
Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, it was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched in February 1939.
The ship was completed and commissioned into the German fleet by August 1940. Bismarck and its sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany and among the biggest ever built by any European power.
This model is at a 1:400 scale and comes with 10 A4 sheets. It represents the ship as it was in 1941, the modernized edition of the Bismarck, shown in its livery from the Battle of the Denmark Strait.. The finished length is about 626 mm (24.6 inches) with a width of 162 mm (6.4 inches), and it includes 985 parts for assembly.
