Im trying to find the manufacturer of a Bismark model I did when I was a kid, about 20 years ago...Its a Bismark, about 26" long.  It has a pull switch on the side, that when operated with 2 D batteries with smallmotor and gearbox. the metal prop turns and at the same time, all 4 big gun turrets rotate back and forth. I dont know what scale it is..
Ive carefully looked for markings on the ship, but cannot find any... Any help is appreciated

I'm pretty sure the model you mean is an old kit from Lindburgh, (sp). My friend had one 25 plus years ago and I had the Hood kit. It really was more toy than scale model but at that time it was the only game in town as far as the Hood was concerned.

It sure sounds like the Linberg kit, I don't remember the Revell as having a motor in it, or if it did, all it did was run the props
