Build The Bismarck is a magazine published by Hachette Partworks. It's a weekly magazine, with the main aim being to complete a 1/200 scale model of the Bismarck, which will take 140 issues. I would suggest that first time visitors read the 'Magazine' Page, then have a look at the model pages.
The magazine is published every Wednesday in the UK.
The model can be build with as a static display model or as a radio controlled model. I intend to do the latter, and hope to add a few extras, such as rotation gun turrets, etc.
