GERMAN BATTLESHIP TIRPITZ 1/350 TAMIYA 717MM X 103MM The Tirpitz was a battleship of the German Kriegsmarine, the second and last unit of the Bismarck class. It was conceived, together with its twin ship Bismarck, to be the spearhead of the German navy. Entered into service long after the outbreak of the Second World War, the ship participated in very few war actions, spending most of its life hiding in the Norwegian fjords from Allied attacks; in fact it had the function of "fleet in being", that is to keep a large quantity of enemy forces busy due to its potential danger. After the sinking of its twin ship Bismarck, it was nicknamed by the Norwegians "The lonely queen of the North" (Den ensomme Nordens Dronning)[2] We do not ship to the Canary Islands
