    New guy from about as far south in Louisiana as you can get. I picked up a fiberglass model battleship hull at a garage sale. It is either a Tirpitz or Bismarck hull I am sure. It is approx, 69,3 " and 9 and a shade over 3/4" wide. White hull with what appears to be blue gel coat or paint on the interior. Any info on hull or where to get plans for superstructure would be appreciated. Oh by the way hull was not purchased in La, or even the states I bought it in Dartmouth Nova Scotia for $50 (US).

    Welcome!

    you have a couple options for each.
    strikemodels has parts and plans
    Battlers connection has full kits and hulls.
    modelshipsahoy does hulls.

    All 3 are represented here in addition to some custom modifications from captains. I’m sure they can all speak for themselves. You’ve come to the right place for RC Naval Combat.

    side note: going off the ship list specifications For the Bismarck it sounds like you have a 1/144th scale hull. More suited to the fast gun rules. Pictures help out a lot too here. We all love pictures.
