1/618 Scale Atlantis Models Bismarck Battleship Model Kit

Build a legendary piece of naval history with this detailed 1/618 scale replica of the German battleship Bismarck. This impressive model kit from Atlantis Models captures the power and sophistication of one of World War II's most famous warships, measuring 16 inches long when complete.

Historical Significance:

The German battleship Bismarck proved conclusively to the British Admiralty that the German Navy was equipped with sophisticated warships that possessed awesome capabilities. Designed as a commerce raider, this famed Tirpitz-class battleship relied on speed and endurance to overtake and destroy its foes. Over eight hundred feet in length, this leviathan displaced more than 42,000 tons and attained speeds in excess of thirty knots, with eight powerful fifteen-inch guns fitted in four main turrets.

During May of 1941, the Bismarck was destroyed in one of modern naval history's most famous battles. In a desperate attempt to gain access to the North Atlantic shipping lanes, the Bismarck was intercepted by a well-coordinated British Naval effort. During unrelenting battle, concentrated gunfire from the German raider devastated the British Battleship Hood, but the feared German warship finally succumbed to repeated gunfire, bombing and torpedo attacks.
