1/570 DKM Bismarck Wreck (Revell Germany)
I enjoy the challenge of producing a study of a ship as she was at the time of sustaining damage or sinking. This requires extra research and is a real buzz. With that in mind, I present my study of the DKM Bismarck as at the time of his sinking.
It is well known that the DKM Bismarck sustained tremendous damage to virtually every part of his hull (upper and lower) and superstructure before succumbing to the RN. After trawling the web for schematics of his damage as the time of his sinking, I was able to start carving.
The model is an old Revell Bismarck and while I am not 100% sure of the scale (not provided on either the box or the instructions), I hazard a guess and say it's got to be about 1/570.
