Hi,

Does anyone know the difference in the two 1/350th scales model kits (Part no 78001 & 780018) of the Battleship Bismarck? I'm new to ship building and was wondering?

Thanks,

My mistake, Part No 78013 is the other Bismarck.

The 78013 is supposed to be an updated kit, with a number of improvements. I did not know about this when I purchased mine, so I ended up with the 78001 as well. I'm going to sell mine and get the Revell kit instead...

From what I heard, the only thing upgraded was the box...and the price.
