WoWS models: KMS Bismarck (1941)

A prop of the KMS Bismarck, as she appears in World of Warships.
Contains 3 skins, those being the ship's apperance after trials, during the start of Operation Rheinubung and it's duel with the Hood and the finale of Operation Rheinubung and it's sinking.

I just felt like making this, don't request anything please.

THIS IS NOT A DRIVEABLE VEHICLE, AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT ONE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT BOTHER ASKING.

Fully rigged, use a model tool to tamper with moving parts.

WARNING: You will need the easy bonemerge tool to put the model together. Merge the hull into the guns. If you want to change skins, do so before merging.

German Battleship Bismarck (1941)

One of the more storied battleships in history, the Bismarck was the largest battleship built by Germany, with only a few others in Europe matching up to it. The Bismarck had been designed, alongside it's sister Tirpitz as a response to the Richelieu-class ships built by France. Despite it's legendary reputation, the Bismarck only participated in a single mission, Operation Rheinubung, aimed at destroying allied convoys. During the course of this operation, alongside Prinz Eugen, Bismarck managed to sink the HMS Hood before being crippled by a torpedo bomber from the HMS Ark Royal. The crew scuttled the ship, though to this day some argue whether or not the torpedo was the primary cause of the sinking.
