I am thinking about buying one 1:350 Tamiya Bismarck to build for display for my dad, is this model any good, I think since it's Tamiya, so can't be too off..

And I never built any Ship model before, mainly Armors, so is there any AM items for the ship, I mean any metal barrels for the 15" gun or something?

Any help and comment will be greatly appreciated.

There are some AM products out there for this model.
Unfortunatetly, I don't recall who makes those products

What are you looking for. I have a website which I sell products for models...... send me an email to [email protected] or my partner [email protected] for what you are looking for and we can give you some prices..... I have the the model myself and I purchased the photoetech parts for it to give a better look.

White Ensign Models, Eduard, and Gold Medal Models all make photo-etch sets for the Bismarck. I think that GMM has the best overall set.

I also think that Clipper makes a set of 15 inch barrels.

Good Luck,
