Schlachtschiff Tirpitz 1/350 Scale Model

[Bob Lyons]

A friend had this model of the Tirpitz made for me. It is in 1/350 scale. A very nice looking model.

Some details of the real ship...

Tirpitz was the second of two Bismarck-class battleships built for the German Kriegsmarine (War Navy) during World War II.
Named after Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the architect of the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy), the ship was laid down
at the Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven in November 1936 and her hull was launched two and a half years later. Work was
completed in February 1941, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Like her sister ship Bismarck, Tirpitz was
armed with a main battery of eight 38-centimeter (15 in) guns in four twin turrets. After a series of wartime modifications she
was 2,000 metric tons (2,000 long tons; 2,200 short tons) heavier than Bismarck.
