The Bismarck in foreign languages


Franval

Recommended Posts

This model of the Bismarck was originally issued by Hachette in Europe, first in Germany and Austria, then in the UK. It’s available in Australia and New Zealand and it's currently available in France, Italy, and probably in Spain also. The ongoing subscription plan comes with magazines in German, French and Italian containing the building guide, along with fully illustrated articles about the history of battleships and naval warfare through the ages.

The metal plaque, offered as a free gift with the subscription by Hachette, also comes in different languages. I note unfortunately that Agora will only offer this plaque with the purchase of the display case.

In some places, it is no longer possible to subscribe with Hachette, leaving the Agora Model's offer the only possibility to obtain this great model.

This brings me to ask a few questions :

Will the magazines be included with the packs in Agora Model’s offer ?
If so, will it be possible to obtain them in either French, German, Italian or Spanish ?
Will the building guide come with each pack or will it only be available through download from the Agora Model site ?
Will it be possible to obtain the metal plaque in other languages than English ?

Thank you for considering the subject.

We will be doing the build instructions as a download from our site. These will be in english, but are easy to follow in other languages. Additionally there will be build videos from various online YouTubers. There will be no magazine, however we are looking to do a book about the Bismarck in a similar way to the cars. This will be available to buy or will be free to customers buying the Bismarck model.

If anyone needs a plaque in a different language, we can try and get hold of one for you from Hachette. 

For people living in Germany, the product is available from Hachette now and you can contact them by this email address: abo@internationale-presse.com
