Hi Geegad, I think the two most popular scales for a vessel of that size would be 1/350 or 1/700. Cheers Derek

Hello John, I've built her sister ship, the Bismark in 1/350. It's the Academy version, nice kit, not too fiddly and costs a lot less than the Tamiya one!

Cheers,

Ron

Hi John. Go with Richy's advice and get the best you can afford. You're certainly going to have to look for something a bit smaller than 1/35 though. You'd need an awfully big display cabinet for a Bismark in 1/35! :lol
