Hi MichaelS, We lived overseas for a quite a few years and I was fortunate enough to attend many trade shows. I bought this one in Vienna but you can get one here:Micromodelle Heidelberg •

All of the original Micromodels were printed and all of the reprints and "new Micromodels" are except for the digital offering from Micromodels USA.

Here is a little more progress. Both masts are complete, all of the range finders, cranes, and flak cannons are onboard. I rebuilt the area around the aft mast to make it more accurately reflect the real Bismarck. I also increased the number of ships boats and installed the catapult and one Avarado 196. I still have a few boats left. The other Avarado will be on spotting duty.

It's amazing to me just how much detail you can shoehorn into a very limited space. Bismarck looks great.

Hello,

The Bismarck is nearly complete. All that remains is the rigging.

That, sir, is just indescribably beauty in miniature. Roughly how many hours do you have invested in it?

Superb build and base. Love the firing turrets and the arc of the shells.
