Please note, I don't have a mobile phone and am not on the internet all the time. So, if you send a message on ebay's new system, (imposed as it was and functioning very much like direct messaging) there's a good chance I won't read it for several hours. That doesn't mean it is being ignored, it just means I haven't read it yet, and I will reply in full as soon as I do. As I explained to ebay, the notion that the sender is always under the impression that everyone is alerted to and reads their messages instantly is wholly inaccurate, and is an expectation they have created which is unwanted and unneeded. So if you are one of those needy people who feels they have to have instant gratification and a reply within seconds, do us both a favour and find another seller to buy from. We managed very well for centuries without having phones glued to our hands and often waited weeks for letters to arrive informing us of even the most important news, people can wait a few hours for a reply here.

Wow! Amazing maquette, just as expected and described. Seller was quick to get it sent and it arrived in perfect condition. I've never bought something off eBay that was packaged up as well as this. Absolutely great seller. Many thanks for the care you took getting it to me. 🫡 A*******

FORCES OF VALOR German Battleship Bismarck 861006A 1:700 Diecast Ship Model
08 lis 2018
Serious misfire, or plastic sinks the Bismarck.
I have all the other Forces o Valor 1/700 ships, and very nice they are too. Not very high end, but then you pay for that sort of model. However, nicely painted, pretty good detail and they look good when displayed. The Bismarck however is another story. While all the other models are painted in total, the Bismark's plastic parts are mostly left the colour of the plastic they are made of. I realise techniques have changed in recent years, a greater use of plastic moulded in various colours, but they does lead to a far cheaper look, very toy like.
For example, the plastic moulded deck isn't painted, and apart from details being painted where needed in a different colour, neither is the superstructure, guns, etc. When used, the paints are often the wrong colour, (very bright red for the underside of the boats) making the whole model look a bit tacky. Weirdly, the photos illustrating the model here, and on most other sites, aren't like that, but I'd advise checking the photos on The Fly Mule site which are of the actual item.
I haven't decided whether to keep my Bismarck, which will make it one of the few models I've ever sent back. However, given it's price it's simply not worth it., nor am I keen to display it with the others in the condition it's in now. If I keep it then I'll probably repaint large parts of it, rather defeating the object of a prepainted model. I understand that FoV are now made by a different company, or that the FoV company was taken over, whatever. It would appear that in order to make more money and cut costs they decided to cut the quality of their products.
If so, it makes these models, once sought after, something to leave on the shelf. Look for the old versions instead because this isn't worth £50+.
