05040 Bismarck 1:350 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

If you are reading this then you must be thinking of buying a model of this ship. This is a very nice model to make and is big in size. While you can spend money on extras the reality is every you need is in the box to construct the kit. Instructions are coloured so really easy to follow, decals are superb and the fit is exceptional. Paint wise, you can get away with just Grey, Black, Hull Red, Brass and Wood so you do not really need a huge pallet to make it. What you do need is a bit of time, this is not something you can throw together. In terms of the price, it is my view that it offers great value. When complete it is massive and pretty impressive. Should you tackle this then my only advice is to plan ahead a little bit. Treat it as lots of little models which you add together.

I am giving this kit 5 stars because it is the best kit I have ever assembled, and at 80 yrs of age I have assembled more than a few. The parts are a perfect fit , and very detailed.it is a pleasure to fit each part, imagining it is the real. I know it was necessary, but to sink such a magnificently beautiful ship was heartbreakingly sad. Still building it so still enjoying every minute of it.

Amazing product you definitely getyour value for money best revell model I have ever had although there are a heck of alot of photo-etched parts. Quite challenging not for the faint hearted. Huge box definitely won't fit through your post box Steady hand and alot of time required Overall I would give it a 10 / 10

Still working on it. It is a good quality product.

its good

The only thing that (IMHO) it needs is photoetch rails as they are chunky, and two custom decals. You know the ones. If you're a seasoned model maker you'll be doubting the quality of this kit due to the manufacturers reputation. Don't. This is the best Revell kit I've ever built and it's up there with the best. It's blown me away and i highly recommended it. Superb.

How do Revell get away with continually making such BAD models. Will never buy another Revell kit again. I’ve built a few now thinking they can’t all be bad, how very wrong I was. I urge you not to buy this kit unless you want a to end up on antidepressants. It’s totally crap and shame on Revell they keep on making bad kits and charging a fortune for them. Gave it a 5 star review so you can read it.

Not had time to assemble yet , but judging by the contents looks a great kit - if maybe a complex one. Will keep me occupied for quite a while I guess. Seems good value.

Alles super macht echt Spaß

Good model

Impeccable !

This is a fantastic kit and is worth the extra cost over the Tamiya kit. It has fantastic detail (especially if you go through the extreme difficulty of painting every detail) and is the centerpiece of my model collection. However, this kit IS NOT for the inexperienced modeler. Revell has given this kit their maximum difficulty rating for a good reason, and it took me almost two weeks of building and painting (I have built about a dozen models in my experience). There are also a few pieces (mostly railing) that do not fit well and require trimming by the modeler, as well as few errors in the last few pages of the instructions, such as incorrect parts labels (one of the last steps has a part labelled as being from the B spruce sheet when it was actually in the D spruce sheet). However, these are not hard to work around, as most of the parts are already on the model. Overall, I would certainly recommend this model for the experienced builder. Don't buy this for your 12 year old or as your first model, as you need a good amount of experience to get it looking like it's price.
