I`m not a model collector but I saw this today & just couldn`t resist. Built from scratch & has twin electric motors. Been in the water just once, a long time ago. 30 inches long & I thought it was quite impressive. It needs servo`s fitting & an RC unit to work again but I will only have it for display I think. The guy that built it clearly put in a lot of time.
All it needs is a small war flag (he couldn`t get one).
I`ll let the pics speak for themselves, hope you like it.
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

Now that is nice! I have been contemplating the purchase of a hand built wood and metal Bismark In approx. 5 to 6 foot length for display. Not easy to find old models any more.

Thanks Ed, you`re right it is not often that we see these any more. i think people are just too busy to find that kind of time these days. I should go for that Bismarck if i were you or you might regret it. Mind you 6ft is some model eh. you`re not going to be playing with that in the bath

OK last one!
Yeah it is pretty neat.....& I probably paid too much for it.

I nice site for quality models of military pieces is( Modelshipmasters.com ).All hand built right in California and they have different degrees of build quality! Plus they build other items as well. A very neat site you will enjoy. The Bismark is in 1/200 th scale which is so sweet, wait till you see. Great find Vaughn.
