The Tamiya 1/350 German Battleship Tirpitz with Stand (78015) reproduces the largest warship ever built in Germany — the Tirpitz that spent most of her career in the Norwegian fjords as a 'fleet in being', tying down enormous Royal Navy and RAF resources simply by existing. Despite rarely venturing out to sea, her mere presence forced the Allies to maintain heavy forces in home waters, and she became the target of multiple attacks including X-craft midget submarines and the legendary Tallboy bombing raids. She was finally sunk at Tromsø in November 1944.
