TAMIYA 1/700 Waterline Series No.118 German Navy Battlecruiser Scharnhorst Plastic Model 77518

This is a plastic model assembly kit of the German battle cruiser Scharnhorst, which took advantage of its high-speed performance of 32 knots to sail across the Atlantic together with the similar ship Gneisenau, sinking many ships including the British aircraft carrier Glorious, and continuing to fight hard until being sunk in December 1943. Faithfully modeled the well-proportioned and fearless style, such as the sharply sloped bow called the Atlantic bow and the chimney with the upper end cut diagonally. Weapon parts such as the powerful 280mm main gun, 150mm secondary gun, and quadruple 20mm machine gun are also sharply finished. The kit reproduces its appearance at the time of the famous English Channel invasion operation in February 1942. Total length when completed is 336mm.
