Airborne SF Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I found this photo online during one of my Kriegsmarine searches. It was unidentified as to what it was or where it came from. It appears to be the starboard aft searchlight platform on Bismarck looking towards the bow, and judging from the background it is a very large scale model. The detail on the model is amazing and gorgeous. Does anybody have a link to more photos online?
Airborne SF Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 I have found several more photos of this model. From this photo and one other it would appear that the model is of Tirpitz rather than Bismarck. Although I have found additional photos on Pinterest, I still haven't identified who or where it is being built, but I believe it is 1:100 scale. Whoever is building it is doing really beautiful work. Kudos to the builder.
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Gidday, I believe it would be Bismarck rather than Tirpitz. Bismarck carried her cranes at upper deck level, as seen here, but on Tirpitz they were one deck higher and further inboard. Regards, Jeff.
MikeR Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Yep, that's the configuration Bismarck had in that area. Arguably it's one of the best distinguishing features between the two ships. Mike. 1
Airborne SF Posted February 3, 2019 Author Posted February 3, 2019 Yep, you guys are right. I got my decks and ships backwards. Oh well, not my first mistake . . .
Mattlow Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Maybe.... http://www.kbismarck.com/models/bismarck-model-100.html It's a beauty even if it isn't the one you found. Matt 1
