Very accurate but incredibly difficult model
By Wolf
This model is incredibly detailed and at over 500 parts a lot of which are very small and without the use of forceps or tweezers you are going to glue your fingers together during assembly. The big differences between this kit and the tamiya kit are for one this one includes the railings as well as real metal chains as well as follacle sized nylon thread for the rigging. The only improvements that could be made for this kit would be photoetched metal railings to scale and of course a large decal for the wooden deck planks or a paper thin slice of wood veneer. I have seen a review of a tamiya kit with wood veneer attached however despite the spectacular job the modeler did on the rest of the kit it wouldve been perfect if he used multiple strips of wood veneer instead of one precision cut piece. (THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL that any tree could be that tall or wide) this was in fine scale modeler. What wouldve been really neat is if revell wouldve done what they did in their 1/48 scale flying fortress with its simulated wood grain on the tables, if they wouldve done this on the main deck of this ship I wouldve been very impressed. (no need for a decal period with proper painting by using vallejo's new wood drybrushed on top of old wood and then washed with a black ink.) with a few minor investments you could make this kit look so real if you placed it next to a picture of the real thing an onlooker wouldnt know which one was the model.there are only 2 innaccuracies to this kit the oversized railings and the no simulated wood main deck.regardless well worth the investment. Especially considering Revells great no questions asked customer service where any part is replaced within a few days with no reciept required and completely hassle and cost free. Unlike tamiya which gives you the run around makes you feel stupid then demands you pay a high price for a replacement part even if its their fault and demands you pay shipping on top of it. good luck and happy building

End of discussion
By omar
Since I was 13 years old I am building models. I had to suspend my hobby because I had no where to buy shops until I found and bought on Amazon. This model revell has any amount of detail, it is worth its price. Research in several sites Tamiya models, Trumpet, etc and always looked better Revell. If you have a hobby models arming, let me tell you that you will not regret if you buy this. It's almost a museum level. I give it 5 stars because it arrived on time, the relationship between price and product quality above all and most importantly, the instructions are well detailed, color schemes, etc..two thumbs up

By samuel ian metler
I wanted a Battle of the Denmark Straight [the main ships] and of the 4 ships needed the Revell Bismarck is the most detailed by far. The price is very fair over what Trumpeter is asking for the HMS Hood which is no where the detail. From the anchor chains to the cranes it's hard to understand how Trumpeter can ask $125.00 for it's model! For no I will live with my HMS Hood but I will look and find an equal to my Bismarck for the display
