I am pleased to announce the completion of my Bismarck......... well, not actually, it is a diecast model of the Bismarck which I received together with a similar model of the Hood....... they are from Atlas, completely free (only pay £1.99 for p&p) or get the p& p free if I order the Prince of Wales at £7.99. further models at a scale of 1250 to 1 are then £14.99 each, with the following listed so far: Scharnhorst, Missouri, Yamato, Ark Royal and Graf Spee. The models are quite detailed and look good. One thing that shows up well is how much bigger the Hood was compared to the bismarck. Not bad for free anyway! Have to think about buying more, problem is where do I keep them?

Easy with these two - sink them! And the Scharnhorst, Yamato and Graf Spee.
Was that Ark Royal a sinker or a survivor?

" Was that Ark Royal a sinker or a survivor? nm Hi nm Had a quick skip through the net History Built by Cammell Laird, and laid down on 16 September 1935, Ark Royal was launched on 13 April 1937. She was commissioned on 16 November 1938 as the second HMS Ark Royal. Sunk 13 November 1941 by a torpedo from German submarine U81, off Gibraltar. www.fleetairarmarchive.net/Ships/Ark_Royal2.htmlBaz
