Captivating military observers and historians since its creation, the German battleship Bismarck was a feared warship that threatened to change the course of World War II in the Atlantic. Famed for sinking the British HMS Hood, the Bismarck was ultimately hunted down and sunk by a massive Allied flotilla involving more than 30 Allied vessels and several aircraft units. Even after its demise, the Bismarck continues to live on in the annals of military naval history.

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
