TAMIYA JAPANESE BATTLESHIP MUSASHI – 78031 SCALA 1:350

TAMIYA JAPANESE BATTLESHIP MUSASHI – 78031 SCALE 1:350. PLASTIC SHIP TO BUILD. PAINTS AND GLUE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOX Musashi was a Japanese battleship laid down in 1938, launched in October 1940, and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in August 1942. The ship's overall length was 263 m, the beam was 36.9 m, and the full displacement was 65,000 tons. The maximum speed of the battleship Yamato was around 27-28 knots. The main armament at launch was 9 x 460 mm guns in three three-gun turrets, and the secondary armament was mainly 6 x 155 mm guns. Musashi was the second Yamato-class battleship. The genesis of this type of battleships dates back to the early 1930s, when the Japanese Navy command, hoping that the Washington Treaty would soon expire (from 1922) and preparing for war in the Pacific, decided to create the most powerful and best battleship in history, which would outclass their counterparts in the United States Navy or the Royal Navy and keep its construction completely secret. As a result, when it entered service in 1942, Musashi - together with its sister ship Yamato - was the most powerful battleship (the 460 mm gun had a firing range of 42,000 meters!) and was the best armored ship of this type in the world! Musashi became the flagship of the entire Japanese Navy in 1943, but during the year took a limited part in combat operations. In early 1944, it was torpedoed by an American submarine, which resulted in serious damage and the need for repairs. In the course of her, the battleship's anti-aircraft armament was also upgraded. Musashi took an active part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 1944), but did not engage in firefights with American units. In October 1944, during the Battle of Leyte, she was sunk by a total of 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs. WE DO NOT SHIP TO THE CANARY ISLANDS

ACADEMY German Battleship Bismarck - Scale 1/350 - 14109. Bismarck was a German battleship, whose keel was laid in 1936 and launched in February 1939. The battleship entered service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in August 1940. The ship was 251 meters long, 36 meters wide and had a total displacement of 53,000 tons. Bismarck's maximum speed was around 29-30 knots. The main armament consisted of 8 380 mm guns in four twin turrets, and the secondary armament included: 12 150 mm guns or 16 105 mm guns. Bismarck was the first ship of the type with the same name - Bismarck. She was ordered to replace the old battleship Hannover in the line, which had become completely obsolete by the 1930s. At the time of her launch, Bismarck was the largest German ship and the largest European battleship. She had good armor and her main or secondary armament was in no way inferior to her counterparts on British ships. She made her maiden voyage in September 1940, when she was on a ferry to Gdynia, which was to be her home port. Bismarck's combat run during World War II was very short. Bismarck set out on her first combat voyage on 19 May 1941: she was supposed to carry out cruising operations in the Atlantic and attack mainly Allied convoys. In the implementation of this plan, Bismarck, with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was already passing through the Danish Straits a few days later. On 24 May, a battle took place in this strait between the German squadron and British ships, as a result of which the battlecruiser HMS Hood was sunk and Bismarck herself was badly damaged. After this battle, significant forces of the Royal Navy - including the Polish destroyer ORP Piorun - were directed against Bismarck, which the German ship tracked down and sent to the bottom on 27 May 1941. It is worth noting that there is a probable hypothesis that the battleship Bismarck was scuttled by the crew in connection with the damage suffered in combat on 27 May, which made it impossible to return to base alone.
