Brief historical overview

The battleship Scharnhorst was one of the most outstanding ships of the Kriegsmarine, used by Germany during World War II. She entered service in 1939 and gained fame in Atlantic operations, including the famous Channel Dash and the Battle of the North Cape in 1943, where she was sunk. Scharnhorst’s combat achievements were largely credited to her powerful and advanced main armament, authentically represented by the presented Master set.

Recommendation and difficulty

The Master SM-350-057 set is especially recommended for advanced ship modelers who want to achieve the highest possible level of realism in their 1:350 scale Scharnhorst model. The turned barrels not only look impressive, but are also durable and resistant to deformation during assembly and model display. We rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5 – it requires basic modeling work and skills in the precise assembly of metal parts. An excellent choice for Kriegsmarine enthusiasts and all modellers wishing to faithfully replicate historical details of warships.
