Bismark

This model is a kit of some sort it has a few issues with putting it on the water the top comes off in one bit
so I have put the build as follows
1/ The hull is minus every thing inside I am not sure if I need to add more compartments
its float test was not good its top heavy
2/ Props

    I don't think there is any difference between Bismarck and Tirpitz. Structurally there were identical sister ships. Equipment wise there may be some differences. AFAIK Tirpitz had a lot more Flak installed due to Bismarck having suffered the fatal torpedo hit by a swordfish.
    For a better comparison I was able to find the website detailing any differences
