    One of my first models I´ve build was a Bismarck, but I didn´t know the manufactor anymore since it is more then 13-14 years ago. I build it on my own way, the only thing I remember was that I put the 2 cm Flak there, where the 37mm should be behind turret "bruno" hehe, was funny, and this place for the 37mm one was a little bit hulking. The cover of the box showed the model on a seachart, there was also the HMS Ark Royal by this manufactor. I looked for this model for a while, but without any success, so could anybody help me ? Would like to build the Bismarck again, coz this model by this manufactor has a special charm to me :D

    Regards,
    Che.

    I think every company that made ships offered the Bismark.

    Yes but not with this special cover on the box. This showed the model standing on a sea chart, must be as large as the bismarck made by revell in 1/570 ??

    hmm, I have no idea, however it could be caused by different terms of payment of every country, so if I would order it and wouldn´t pay, the shopman would have a problem, coz he can not sue myself for compensation.
    Don´t know if that´s the real reason, but it could be, strange world ?! ^^ ;)

    Might possibly be something to do with the flag she flew -- the same reason as most WW2 German Aircraft models have incorrect tail insignia

    I know some web sites have filtered what some European countries see e.g.
