This is a question for Agora specifically because of directions in assembly. I notice it says to remove the batteries in the remote when not in use...Having said that, can Agora advise me on what exactly is actually robbing and burning up the batteries when everything is turned off. The batteries in remote control seem to last only a day or two when everything is OFF...Why is this?? Has anyone else had to replace the rermote batteries a lot?? Thanks

I think you are talking about the quad guns you have to build, two of them?? All I did was left the other guns where they were and glued the quad guns down below next to searchlights.. But yes, since I had already glued them in, Agora what were you thinking.??

Just a heads up, the fiber optic that comes in Pack 12 for the aft jack stern light is long enough, if you are careful, to use to fix or replace the bow staff light...thanks

All folks that have bought the Bismarck model should be aware that, the plastic sleeves that came in Pack 10, used to lock down the AA guns so they rotate but do not come out of the deck, you are only given 4 sleeves. You have 8 AA guns so that everyone needs 4 more sleeves. Just a heads up for all....By the way, the plastic sleeves are part 108-08...thanks nks

Last I heard, the display case will not be available until May or June, however, the height from the base to the mast is 17 inches, and with the base on the display case itself, it should be at 18 inches..Just enough to clear the main mast by 1 inch..Hope this helps.

Here is a thought, and it might work...You need to disconnect the rotation motors and center the turrets, then put the motor back in and make sure the gears mesh in the right slots. It might be a matter of just a notch or two on the motor gear. Mine are off a hair also..but I simply adjust them with the remote control.

I am still deciding, but TAP plastics had all the plastic for $215 just under the case from Agora, so it looks like I will choose Agora, but only when they are actually in stock and ready to ship.

Does anyone know where you can get Kreig marine figures for the Bismarck in 1/200 scale?? I have seen figures available in 1/350 scale, and wonder if they would be ok given the size of Bismarck...Thanks PS: Would prefer that they are already painted...

Do you have all the C cell batteries in the base unit??

Regarding the height, when I measured it, I am at 18 inches at the main mast, from the base. This gives 1 inch clearance above the main mast. The mast is 17 inches from the base.

Ok, I checked directions, and this might be an oversight on Agora's part. The part is plastic sleeves, its listed as part number 108-08 and they came in Pack 10. Agora if you check the forum, I need 4 more as there are 8 total AA guns to lock into the deck. Thanks

I dont know if I missed it or not. In one of the packs we received small clear O rings so you could install them on anti aircarft guns and they would lock in and still rotate. That being said, I got 4 of them in one of the packs, will go back and read all directions, but I never received a set of 4 for the other anti aircraft guns. Anyone know which pack the other four came in? Being clear, I might have missed it, but also didnt see directions to install a second set of 4...Thanks

Exactly , the on off switch should simply activate when your finger is on it, there is no pushing down or anything.

First of all let me say that I have everything working 100 percent. All turrets raise lower, rotate and fire, bow and stern anchors go up and down, rudders turn left and right, props spin, all 15 cm guns rotate, and all lights work. Having said that, is anyone at stage 12, I noticed when I hit the command on the remote for drop anchors, they drop but also, I hear some german command, and suddenly the lights come on, the props spin, the radar spins, and there is no button to make this happen. It just seems to happen?? Anyone else experience same thing?? Is that built in to the system?? Thanks

Watch your cables and adjust and your props should work fine...Thanks
