Academy 1/350 Bismarck Model Brief

The Academy 1/350 representation of the Bismarck captures the vessel's distinctive profile with sharp moulding and defined structural parts. The kit is intended for model makers who want accurate proportions and surface detail.

Ship History and Modelling Detail

The Bismarck, commissioned in 1939, was a major surface unit of its period and is often modelled for its imposing silhouette. This kit recreates key elements such as armament platforms and superstructure with clear part separation to aid realistic assembly.

Display Value and Collector Notes

Completed models offer a compelling centrepiece for naval collections and can be finished with weathering techniques to enhance realism. The scale length gives a striking on-shelf presence.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Injection-moulded plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Length: Approximately 716 mm
This edition is best for intermediate to advanced modellers due to fine detail and numerous small components that need careful handling.
Many builders add photo-etched railings or resin upgrades for enhanced realism; these are optional but popular for display-grade builds.
Prime the model first, then apply base coats with airbrush or brush, and finish with washes and drybrushing to bring out panel lines and deck details.
