Hi, does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be suitable to use for or where I can get 1/200 anchor chains I need them for my trumpeter Bismarck as they aren't in the box as they're supposed to be

Many thanks

Anchor chain does not come in 'scales' as such as a large ship would have more substantial ones than a smaller one to the same scale.
 
Perhaps someone who has this model can measure the link size and post it on here.

go back to the supplier of the kit and ask for the chain.

A few of the well stocked model shops sell the studded chain in a few sizes. It's about £13 IIRC

Does this help?

Oh my goodness what a very small fine pen/pencil, hard to tell.
 
Amazing how it was made to such a small scale

Looks like Martin still has an outside loo.....

Here is a 1:200 scale drawing of the Bismarck anchor chain, as drawn by Hans Gally. Gally drew it in 1:00 scale, and I reduced in size by exactly 1/2.



Hope this helps.

Some chain I have got from a knick-knack type shop which sell costume jewellery etc - some of the chains are very fine
and reasonably cheap and would be suitable for very fine scale model use
