The following are photos of the new 1/350 DKM Bismarck from Revell Germany.
I only had a few minutes with the kit, and so with a borrowed camera I took some quick photos. So, only
a little sneak peek into the kit- sorry guys!
Molding is fairly crisp, but there was some flash in places. There are mold lines on the hull;
looks like from the use of slide molds to achieve some hull details.
The portholes have little brows, which is a nice touch, but I found the molded on watertight doors to
be very plain. Something else that let me down a little; the Ar-196's wings have raised panel lines.
There are a number of clear sprues included- looks like all the searchlights will have clear lenses!
The kit looks like it has a lot going for it- it is certainly looks to be
an improvement over the current offerings
. Retail on this kit is $99.99, but it should be cheaper at most retailers.
