I built the 1/350 Tamiya Bismarck nearly 2 decades ago (also their 1:200 kit of the same ship) but I have built the Revell Germany Tirpitz and found it significantly superior in superstructure detail to the Tamiya kit. It still needs upgrades (Eduard makes a very good one) and some bridge optical equipment replacements (the Tamiya ones are just little plastic pegs; Revell's have some realistic shape to them) and a wood deck. The only really bad part of the kit (easily omitted during assembly) are the ugly plastic railings, which at their scale look more like log fences.
