Hey Guys.

I am searching for more 1/200 model ships from the WW2 period. I allready have the Bismarck and Missouri from Trumpeter, but i have been unable to find any other WW2 era ships from this period.

Can anyone confirm if those are the only ones made ?

You didn't specify if they were to be kits, or plastic, or die cast, etc. So as long as you are willing and open to trying new modelling medium there are apparently a number of ships available in 1:200 scale. A quick Google search turned up a website called "Alice Papermodel". They have what appear to be high quality paper model ships available in 1:200 scale:

HMS Hood
HMS Rodney
IJN Yamato
FS Richelieu
IJN Zuikaku
USS Saratoga CV-3
IJN Matsu destroyer
USS California
USS Porter DD-356 destroyer
IJN Hiryu
HMS Repulse
PC-553 USN sub chaser
ORP Orzel 85A polish submarine (podwodny)
USS Archerfish SS-311 submarine
IJN Zuiho
USS Belleau Wood
KM Graf Zeppelin
IJN Fuso
USS Alaska
RM Roma Italian battleship
HMS Prince of Wales
USS Washington
IJN Tone
KM Admiral Hipper
Soviet cruiser
IJN Yukikaze
KM Prinz Eugen
USS Jerimiah O'Brien transport & 15 minesweeper
USS Letuze DD-481
RM Vittorio Veneto battleship
HMS Warspite
KM Admiral Graf Spee

There are more and more that don't specifically state 1:200 scale, that are listed as "1 meter" or "90cm" which you will have to reason out by means of math whether or not they are the scale you want. There are also many 1:250 scale ships as well.
