Here's a web site with really good color profiles and top down views of the Bismarck with different markings:

http://www.kbismarck.com/drawings.html

The photos of the ship on that site are great too.

Im also building the Tamiya Bismarck with PE, and as well as you had a hard time trying to find accurate references. I bought a book on the Bismarck that shows 3-D Images of the ship from almost every angle, with nice close ups too. Its help is amazing. I got it off eBay have a look. If you need any help let me know.

The book is call "The BattleShip Bismarck-Super drawings in 3-D". you can get it off ebay.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kagero-Publishing-Battleship-Bismarck-Books-Naval-Battleships-/250977885682?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6f729df2

 

I Have the Gold Medal Models main PE set. I Have the WEM splinter deck and steel grate set pieces and the Anti-Aircraft Guns upgrade. I recommend getting both these WEM sets.

The Tamiya model has very limited details as standard on it which is a shame. The deck PE helps a lot and would go well with ur wood deck upgrade.  It all depends on how much of an extent to detail you want to go with and how much you want to spend. I even got Metal barrels for the main and secondary gun turrets.

Let me know if you need any more help.
