1/700 Water Line Series

1/700 SCALE German Battle Cruiser Gneisenau

Length: 336mm. Image shows assembled and painted kit.

Completed in May 1938, the Gneisenau, together with here sister ship Scharnhorst, were the largest, fastest, and most powerful battlecruisers in the German Navy. She took part in many commerce raiding operations, fought against units of the Royal Navy, and survived the famous Channel Dash. This assembly kit accurately portrays the differences from the Scharnhorst, including the position of the mast aft of the funnel as well as the catapult on top of no.3 turret. Display the models of these two ships together for an interesting comparison.
