Description
The sole sister ship of the Bismarck, the Tirpitz was a perpetual concern for the Royal Navy since its presence in Norway was a continuous threat to Allied Arctic convoys, supplying the Soviet Union. Considerable resources were spent countering her potential moves until she was finally sunk by Royal Airforce modified Lancaster bombers equipped with 12,000lbs Tallboy bombs in November 1944. The elegant lines of the Tirpitz are accurately reproduced and distinguishing features that set her apart from the Bismarck such as quadruple torpedo tubes are also recreated in great detail. The model comes with a specially made display base and a beautiful nameplate for an impressive display.
The model measures 717mm in length with a beam of 103mm.
