Bismarck had many hull vents located around the bilge keels, but there are none on the kit.
There has been endless speculation as to the Bismarck's final paint configuration; yellow turret tops, swastikas with red or grey background on the bow and stern, or just on the bow, etc. Going from the reports of Robert Ballard's expedition, I opted for swastikas on bow and stern with red banners.
I used Tamiya's acrylic Dark Sea Grey for the upper hull half, and a 50/50 mix of Floquil IJN Sky Grey and British Sea Grey Medium for the superstructure.

 German Navy Ships--Bismarck (1940-1941)--Construction
Bismarck was Germany's first "real" post-World War I battleship, with guns and protection of similar scale to those of the best foreign combat ships.
Her anti-aircraft battery, including sixteen 10.5 cm (4.1-inch) guns in eight twin mounts and several 37mm and 20mm machine guns, reflected the prevailing pre-World War II underestimation of the threat from the air, a failing common to all the World's navies.
The two ships of this class, Bismarck and her "sister" Tirpitz, were quite fast, at just over thirty knots maximum speed.

 Tri-ang Minic Ships - DKM Bismarck
Bismarck was officially ordered in mid 1935 after the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement, which lifted the restrictions imposed on German naval ship building under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, and allowed Germany to build up to five 35,000 ton battleships.
While the battleship HMS Prince of Wales was damaged in the battle she struck the Bismarck with three heavy shells which caused flooding that resulted in Bismarck being 3º down by the bow and listing 9º to port.
The shell damage also caused sea water contamination in Bismarck's fuel which proved to be a critical factor as the lack of fuel forced Bismarck to reduce speed and limited her ability to manoeuvre.

It seems that refuelling the Bismarck was not scheduled, and that Prinz Eugen was refuelled only because she absolutely had to be due to her shorter endurance.
At this time, Bismarck's intelligence team received a message from Germany, in which based on an intercepted radio message, British aircraft had been instructed to be on the alert for two battleships and three destroyers proceeding on a Northerly course.
Despite all this, the Bismarck almost escaped, and she would certainly have done so if it were not for that fatal torpedo hit on the stern.
