   This is a Plastic 1/400 Scale Assembly Kit of the WWII German Battleship
                         "Bismarck" from Heller.

     The German battleship Bismarck is famous not so much for what she
accomplished during WWII but that she was the target of possibly the most
famous chase in Naval history. On her first commerce raiding mission in the
North Atlantic the bulk of the Royal Navy set out in pursuit. Just as it
seemed that the ship would escape to safety in France and attack by aircraft
from HMS Ark Royal wrecked the Bismarck's steering. The pursuing Royal Navy
ships were then able to catch up and sink her the next day. Bismarck was armed
with 8 x 15 inch guns and could reach a speed of 30 knots.
