 Now, imagine this precise work of model ship art sitting proudly on top of your desk in the office, or on the mantle at home. Your friends, colleagues, or maybe even your former shipmates, come in and marvel as they admire your (latest) acquisition, wondering aloud how expensive this RARE and valuable model ship is.

 To build this ship, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings, copies of original plans and photos of the actual ship when possible.

 This is a fully assembled model ship of the German battleship Bismarck. The ship model is 100% hand built from scratch using the “plank on frame” construction method. Our master craftsmen have spent more than 100 hours to finish it. This replica is painted in red, black, white and grey. This war ship model has plank decking, metal railing, and heavy wooden armament and armour. No plastic parts! Comes on a solid wood base, with metal nameplate. 

 The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. The lead ship of her class and named after the 19th century German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck displaced more than 50,000 tons fully loaded and was the largest warship then commissioned. Bismarck only took part in one operation during her brief career. She and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen left Gotenhafen (Gdynia) on the morning of 19 May, 1941 for Operation Rheinübung, during which she was to have attempted to intercept and destroy convoys in transit between North America and Great Britain.
 
 When the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen attempted to break out into the Atlantic, the two ships were discovered by the Royal Navy and brought to battle in the Denmark Strait. During the short engagement, the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, flagship of the Home Fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, was sunk after several minutes of firing. In response, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the order to "Sink the Bismarck", spurring a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy. Two days later, with Bismarck almost in reach of safer waters, Fleet Air Arm aircraft launched from the carrier HMS Ark Royal torpedoed the ship and jammed her rudder, allowing heavy British units to catch up with her. In the ensuing battle on the morning of 27 May, 1941, Bismarck was heavily attacked for nearly three hours before sinking.
