About This Item

Product Details

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.

Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive reception of this model kit, noting its appeal as a good value for the price and a fun build, particularly for beginners or as part of a collection like the German Navy or waterline series. While many appreciate the level of detail for the size and the inclusion of features like name placards, some mention drawbacks such as fragile parts, inconsistent detail, and fit issues with gaps. A few also suggest enhancements like photo etch or wood decks to elevate the kit, and there’s a noted desire for additional decals in some cases.

Awesome

By: Chief Cheddar

This was a great model kit. I think I will get the sister ship as well just for completions sake. Even though the detail wasn't amazing and the parts were difficult to fit together without having gaps in some places it turned out to be an undeniably good kit.

Very satisfied

By: Caconnell91 (Kingsport, TN)

Great looking model, I'm startin to be a huge fan of the waterline series. I expect nothing less from Tamiya and the quality in this product. I'm super excited to see how this turns out. I love how Tamiya even includes a name placard for the ship which helps when you have a lot of ships to distinguish them apart.

Good kit for its age

By: brianmiller1220 (Selinsgrove, PA)

This kit is ok built out of box and it doesn't break the bank. Not much detail but is a good start. Throw in some photo etch and maybe a wood deck and it's a great kit.
