1/350 Scale Tamiya 78015 Tirpitz: Precision Naval Model

The Tamiya 1/350 Tirpitz kit recreates the famed German battleship in detailed scale. Often called the "Lonely Queen of the North," the Tirpitz served alongside Bismarck and posed a long-term threat to Allied shipping while anchored in Norwegian fjords. The model reproduces the ship's key external characteristics with careful moulding.

Operational Context and Kit Features

The Tirpitz influenced Allied operations until it was neutralised by RAF bombing raids. Tamiya's kit reflects that history with faithfully modelled superstructure, armament positions and the noted quadruple torpedo tubes that mark the ship's profile.

Realism and Display Value

Made for collectors, the kit includes a display stand and nameplate to present the finished model. The fine surface detail and accurate proportions make it a standout item for display cabinets and model exhibitions.

Yes. Removing subassemblies from sprues and cleaning joints improves paint adhesion and gives a neater finish when priming and painting.
The kit focuses on structural detail and includes any basic markings needed; check the instructions for decal contents. For extra markings, aftermarket decal sheets are available.
A display case sized for 1/350 battleships or a custom cabinet that allows clearance for masts and fittings will suit the finished model. Measure the assembled dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
