1/700 German BB Tirpitz

Dragon's Tirpitz kit is, of course, a derivative of their new Bismarck kit, with a few of the parts labeled as not being used, but otherwise it's pretty much the same offering. While we cannot speak for the kit's accuracy, the detail looks pretty good (though it could be crisper), but key areas of the superstructure have been upgraded by the presence of photo-etched detail parts (railings, port details, etc.). Perhaps to make those easier to use (?), the main smoke stack and other parts of the superstructure are molded in semi-soft PVC-like material rather than styrene. Main gun turrets and barrels move after assembly. Includes decals by Cartograf (flags and aircraft insignia). Also comes with marking diagrams to guide you through painting the vessel in any one of nine schemes!
