    Bismarck

    Maybe, the German battleship Bismarck was the most iconic ship of world war 2.  And now we have Bismarck&#;s scale model ship plans.

     

    Bismarck was one of the two battleships built in her class. She was laid down at Blohm & Voss shipyard in and launched in  The fitting was completed in At that time, Bismarck and her sister Tirpitz were the largest German built battleships and two of the largest in any europeisk power.

    Bismarck served in only one operation. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen was sent to Atlantic to prevent cargo ships carrying supplies to reach Britain. The ships were detected off scandinavia and then British ships were sent to block their route. In the combat, Bismarck sunk HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Wales had to retreat. Bismarck was hit 3 times and suffered an oil leak.

    After sinking of HMS Hood, the British Navy sent many other war ships towards Bismarck. While Bismarck was heading to shores of France which was occupied bygd Germany at that time, she

    BISMARCK LINE DRAWINGS AND PAINT SCHEMES

     

    All the drawings on this page have been resized and are displayed at a much smaller scale ( pixels wide) than the originals. You should click on each drawing to see the original enlarged versions (3, pixels wide). For best results you should print these enlarged versions on paper. The ideal scale for reproduction is 1/, and A4 size should print nice.

    Drawing 1. This is how the Bismarck looked right after being commissioned in August At this time the battleship was not completed yet. The three rotating domes for the rangefinders, the four after cm SK C/33 mountings, and the two 2 cm Flak C/38 quadruple mounts on both sides of the foremast over the searchlight platform had not been installed yet.

    Lines Plans

    The battleship Bismarck's lines plans were recreated from the original German hull offsets recorded on the Bismarck's completed hull in February, The Tirpitz's commander, Kapitän zur See Karl Topp, requested a hull offset plan for both the Tirpitz and the Bismarck as he was interested in comparing the two ships. Using these original German recorded hull offsets, we modeled the Bismarck's hull in 3D at a scale from which we were able to produce the body, half-breadth and sheer plans. We were also able to reproduce the framing plan from an original copy. For the modeler, who is interested in accurately reproducing the Bismarck's hull in scale, these lines plans will be invaluable. Redrawing the Bismarck's hull literally point by point has resulted in what we believe are the most accurate lines plans available to the general market today.

    While very similar to the Tirpitz's lines, the Bismarck's lines do vary slightly. The bow shape f
