Description

Discover one of the greatest naval legends of World War II! Meet the battleship BISMARCK in a collectible 1:300 scale!

This 1:300 scale model of the battleship Bismarck was designed with the most demanding collectors in mind. 3204 precisely crafted blocks faithfully reproduce the ship's silhouette, superstructure, armament and characteristic proportions.

The dimensions of the finished model make it one of the most impressive ship kits in COBI's 1:300 scale offering.

The Creation and Significance of the Battleship Bismarck

The Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for the German Kriegsmarine. Launched on February 14, 1939, Commissioned in August 1940, it represented the culmination of German engineering in battleship construction.

The ship distinguished itself by its enormous displacement (over 45,000 tons), powerful armor, and its main armament of eight 380 mm guns arranged in four twin turrets.

In May 1941, Bismarck embarked on her only combat mission into the Atlantic. Her objective was to attack Allied convoys. The culmination of the operation was the Battle of the Denmark Strait, during which Bismarck sank the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy. This success made the German battleship the number one target of the British fleet.

After an intense pursuit, on May 26, 1941, Bismarck was surrounded by 15 Fairley Swordfish torpedo-bombers and heavily damaged. A day later, a fleet of British battleships reached Bismarck and, after a short battle, she sank the damaged giant.

Although her service was short, she forever went down in history as one of the most famous warships in the world.

Why add the BISMARCK model to your collection:

 3,204 pieces – the very large number of blocks allows for an incredibly detailed reproduction of the battleship's structure. It's a long, engaging construction process that provides the highest level of satisfaction.

1:300 scale – the model looks incredibly realistic and perfectly captures the power of the historical original. It will be the centerpiece of any naval collection.

High-quality prints – the set does not include stickers; all markings, details and symbols are printed directly onto the blocks, ensuring durability and a perfect appearance for years.

Realistic functionality – movable elements, such as armament and propellers, and removable parts of the propulsion system enhance the model's realism and make it not only a display piece, but also an interactive structure.

Realistic interior – Removable section of the upper deck allows you to peek into the replicated ship's interior, enhancing the model's realism and collectible value.

Base with collector's plaque – the elegant base allows for stable display of the model and includes a plaque with the ship's name and scale, perfectly fitting a collector's display case.

Fun and display in one – once assembled, the model becomes a striking decoration that attracts attention and highlights a passion for history and militaria.

Customer photo review of COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

Update to my first review. I had given low marks due to my Bismarck kit having issues in bag #5. The four pieces that were to have red print decals on them were missing the red print on two of the pieces. I contacted Cobi and became frustrated with the process to resolve the issue prior to my last review. Since then, Cobi reached out to assure me the issue was being investigated and addressed and as of today, not only did they send the correct printed pieces, they sent the entire bag #5 ! Thank you Cobi for correcting an error and going above and beyond to ensure my kit can be completed. I own many of the 1:300 navy ship/submarine kits and this was the first "hiccup" with any of them and I'm looking forward to adding the USS Kidd to my collection as soon as it's available.

Customer photo review of COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

Best build out of the 8 models I've already purchased from Cobi, I have zero complaints. The only thing which isn't a huge issue at this moment is 1 missing piece. Out of the over 10k pieces from all of the sets I've built, 1 missing isn't a negative to me. However that one piece missing means I cannot connect the one of the propellers to the shaft. The small black propeller connector is the only thing missing.

Customer video review of COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

A really fun build. The details are much better in this one versus the original gen 1 set. Display base is a bit annoying to reconnect but not a huge deal. Hardest part about the build was the wires/antenna. Getting them just right without stressing the pegs for the masts was tedious, I may have used a drop of glue to make it easier; but absolutely not necessary. Great model, 16 hours of build time, highly recommended.

Customer photo review of COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

I’m replacing my first generation Bismarck with this newer 3rd Gen. I didn’t care for the color scheme of the 2nd gen but this one is great! Details are fantastic, build was about 16 hours. The antenna wires were the hardest part, but well worth it for that extra detail. I did add a couple details of windows and blacked out the muzzle of all the gun barrels with a sharpie. I’m so happy to have this set in my collection

Customer photo review of COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

Misprinted pieces or lacking printing to even get past step 224 on the second book. Im stuck with either trying to paint pieces to match or hoping cobi sends me the actual printed pieces from bag # 5.

COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

What a great build! Took the better part of a weekend, but the directions were very clear. The section up front that shows similar pieces and identifies them is incredibly useful. This is an impressive model!

COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

Received order in excellent condition, order was shipped super quick, and I was not disappointed. Been waiting for the Bismarck to return to Cobi for awhile, I have not started to build yet, saving it for this late fall/winter here in central Illinois. I have done numerous Cobi builds, so I know that I wont be disappointed! Hate too say it, but I cant wait til the weather changes to start.

COBI Battleship Bismarck: Set #4860

I was able to build this in a weekend. The instructions are very easy to follow, once you adjust to their system. It's very important to pay attention when the instructions call for a specific piece, and have similar looking pieces labelled and called out. Having to individually link the anchor chains was a little rough, but the rest of the build was smooth sailing. It's an impressive looking model with great detail.
