Airfix Kit Bismarck 1:600

The most powerful battleship in the world in 1941, the Bismarck sailed to raid Allied shipping in the North Atlantic alongside the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. After being spotted by the Royal Navy, she was shadowed and then engaged. In this engagement, the Bismarck sank HMS Hood. She was then damaged by at least one torpedo from attacking Swordfish, which slowed her down. Ultimately, she was sunk by torpedoes fired from Royal Naval ships, resulting in the loss of almost 1,900 crew members.
