Tamiya 77518 1/700 German Battlecruiser Scharnhorst (31801)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

This is an assembly kit of the Scharnhorst, which fought in the Atlantic together with her sister ship Gneisenau and sank many Allied ships, including the British aircraft carrier Glorious, before her own demise in December 1943. Distinctive features such as her sharp "Atlantic bow" and angled funnel tip have been authentically recreated in model form. The powerful armament of 280mm and 150mm guns as well as quadruple 20mm cannons are also highly detailed. The model depicts this ship as she appeared during the famous Channel Dash in February 1942.

Completed Length: 336mm

The battle cruiser Scharnhorst, which sailed about the Atlantic Ocean at a high speed of up to 32 knots with her sister ship Gneisenau and rendered distinguished services, had the most brilliant career of all the capital ships of the German Navy. The two battle cruisers were famous for their beautiful style. It may safely be said that their well-proportioned shape ranked second to no other battleships of the world.
