I went to buy the Prinz Eugen but half the plywood printed sections were  delaminating and at that price I declined to buy it.
The seller said I should just copy them onto fresh ply!!

Hello Vet
I believe that they make 2 versions 1 has an ABS hull the other a plank on frame the ABS would be faster to build but what ever you get they are basic it all depends on your modeling skills i would give it a miss unless the price is very good
if it has to be Bismark why not go for the Fleetscale hull & deck together less than £150 this would be the Roles Royce of hulls.
cheers

currently build fleetscale Scharnhorst

Building on a Fleetscale hull results in a much bigger boat that the Aeronaut ones, and I've heard somewhere that size is important

The Aero-naut kit does look rather toy-like.
The guardrails are good, but way over scale.
For me this kit is just too expensive for the end result.
