Bancroft 1/200 scale Battleship Bismark RTR (Ready to Run)
Captivating military observers and historians since its creation, the German battleship Bismarck was a feared warship that threatened to change the course of World War 2 in the Atlantic. Known for sinking the British HMS Hood, the Bismarck was ultimately hunted down and sunk by a massive Allied flotilla involving more than 30 Allied vessels and several aircraft units. Even after its demise, the Bismark continues to live on in the annals of military naval history.
Bancroft’s Elite Series of 1/200 scale warships continues with the Battleship Bismarck. Display this museum piece on your mantle or stun your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Over 600 total parts and 250 man-hours of work is already completed for you –just 15 minutes of your time is required to prepare the boat for service out of the box.
Delivered as a Ready to Run (RTR), the vessel can be sailing within minutes of being unboxed, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, pre-bound 2.4Ghz receiver, and 2s Li-Ion battery.
The 1/200 scale Bancroft Bismarck arrives fully painted and detailed with over 350 brass photo-etched parts including antennas, railings, launch ramps, ladders, and AA guns. The Bancroft 1/200 Bismarck also features a genuine one-piece wood deck that is laser cut and pre-installed onto the one-piece molded hull. The laser etched pattern simulates the individual deck timbers used to cover the massive battleship.
A one-piece molded hull is optimized for scale fidelity and also real-world RC performance; I found this model to be very stable at slow speed and during high speed maneuvers, slicing a satisfying wake with its distinctive bow. Moving aft of the foredeck, we reach the two forward main turrets. Each turret is painstakingly molded, painted, then detailed with PE parts. The main turrets attach to the hull with a simple centered post. This allows them to be positioned with your finger in any direction. It would be very simple for modelers to install a servo to traverse the turret remotely!
