Airfix's forthcoming 1:1200 Sink the Bismarck set ... and mine.

It has been a hectic, diaper-intense summer, but the latest photos of my Bismarck battles models are up at

Is it just me,or does it seem like some Airfix offerings don't make it to North America?

20 pounds sterling is what's quoted on the Airfix website, that's about $32 US at the current exchange rate, which doesn't include shipping.

I think my nephews would dig this set.What's the price gonna be?

I don't think my bathtub is big enough...

I had the Airfix Tribals from this series. I normally do sailing craft, but I have a big soft spot for destroyers (Dad served on one). Nice to see it return, though separate kits would've been nice as well.

And somewhere I remember seeing that a company makes 1/1200 PE sailors, Now how insane would that be? 

Clicked on the link and see its sold out!

I for one support Airfix as they are a big part of modeling history while finding new enthusiasm in recent releases.

Although 1/1200 scale is not in the mainstream of popularity the idea of the ships altogether in a manageable sized base will appeal to quite a few modelers & historians.

Thanks for the link Lou!

I just got a stock notification that the set is now out, although the webpage still shows it out of stock.

My work on my complimentary set of 1:1200 cardstock paper models which I described above proceeds. From a British supplier, I just got Plastruct (90849) .015"/.4mm plastic rod for the destroyer caliber guns of Cossack etc. and Piorun. I've even done a miniscule pixel by pixel Polish naval ensign ... with the left-facing chicken/eagle? ... for Piorun. 

Hmm ...  I can't figure out how to post images here and there doesn't seem to be editing once something is posted, but they're on my webpage thread, so ....
