The Pontos 20001WD1 Bismarck Wooden Deck set (1/200) is a high-quality accessory designed for demanding modelers who want to achieve the most realistic appearance of the German battleship Bismarck from World War II. The product is designed specifically for the Trumpeter’s 1:200 scale Bismarck model, which is among the most accurate ship model kits of this vessel available on the market. Thanks to the use of natural wood and precisely laser-cut photo-etched parts, the Pontos set enables extremely faithful reproduction of the legendary battleship’s deck details.

History of the Bismarck: The German battleship Bismarck was one of the largest and most powerful warships of World War II, operated by the Kriegsmarine. The vessel entered service in 1940 and became famous for its participation in Operation "Rheinübung" in May 1941, during which it sank the British HMS Hood. Its tragic end occurred on May 27, 1941, as a result of intense action by the British fleet in the North Atlantic.

The set includes:

• Self-adhesive wooden deck made from thin, natural veneer, precisely laser-cut to fit the dedicated model perfectly.
• Photo-etched metal parts to replicate the finest deck details—including hatches, rigging, ladders, and other structural components of the ship.
• Compatibility with other Pontos detail sets (22001F1, 23001F1) to achieve full depth of detailing.

Materials: Natural wood veneer, photo-etched stainless steel.

We especially recommend this product to experienced modelers and ship collectors who are looking to achieve the highest level of realism for their Bismarck model. The advanced construction of the components, precision reproduction, and excellent quality of the materials used make this kit an indispensable addition for World War II enthusiasts and ship modeling aficionados.

Difficulty Level: 4/5 – requires precision and experience in working with small accessories as well as self-adhesive and photo-etched materials.
