The kits are works of art, as the hulls are solid cold cast resin and all other parts are cast brass using the ancient lost wax process. There are bags and bags of unopened superstrutcure. Parts with turrets, airplanes, lifeboats, deck details etc. These kits are sometimes available on order from Konishi for appx. True afficionados of delicate craftsmanship will appreciate the work that goes into each kit. Build it or just keep it as is. It also has flags and other transfers.

These clocks were issued aboard Kriegsmarine surface vessels and U-boats during World War II, where precise timekeeping was essential for navigation, gunnery coordination, and convoy operations. Typically mounted in the radio room, wardroom, or bridge, the 8-day movement allowed extended accuracy between windings while enduring the harsh conditions of sea service. Each clock was individually calibrated and tested before deployment. It is a EXCELLENT example and retains much of the original brass finish! A couple of dents and marks (normal due to the age), however it is still VERY SOLID! Both the serial number and all markings are intact, including the full KM Adler. Some wear to the nickel finish, but nothing that detracts. 100% FUNCTIONAL, this type of clock is shown on page 182/183 of Konrad Knirim’s Military Timepieces Book. Comes complete with the original winding key. I have shown this exact clock in use on the Prinz Eugen in the last photo. An EXTREMELY RARE piece of history, it would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!

Very rare and hard to find Tamiya completed model item number 21002 of the famous Bismarck Battleship. This piece has some of the most incredible detail ever seen. The pictures show how much time and effort Tamiya put into making this the finest Bismarck reproduction ever. Even the packaging is incredible.

Tamiya introduces the German Battleship Bismarck to the Masterwork Collection. Showing bravery in a battle against the whole British force during Operation Rheinubung in 1941, though the Bismarck was defeated, she was saluted by then-British Prime Minister Churchill for her brave fight.

This item is brand new, and has never been displayed, or even unpacked fully from it’s original packing!
