I wonder why the link is labeled Bismarck class when the model is obviously a Deutchland class pocket battleship...

I bet that thing gets lots of looks as its being trailered down the road. It would also be kinda odd to be out on the lake and see him come motoring by. Some people can build some interesting things.

This site has the Yamato in 30", 40" & 52" lengths

I am sure they are pricey though...

Quoting from the description section:

"Furthermore the model has a music system build in.
While William Terra cruise the lakes of Maine he enjoy listen to Wagner."


I can just imagine that would be a heck of a thing to see and hear.
