Scharnhorst, the famous German Scharnhorst-class battleship, was used during World War II as both an escort and combat vessel, participating in Atlantic raids and the famous "Cerberus" operation (breakthrough through the English Channel in 1942). The main and secondary gun barrels included in this set are faithful replicas of original weapon components, based on historical technical documentation and archival photographs.

The advantage of this product lies in the perfectly machined details, unattainable with plastic parts. Replacing plastic barrels with metal ones provides not only better scale representation, but also increases the durability and visual appeal of the model. Barrel installation is simple—just cut off the old barrels, drill the holes, and glue the metal elements using cyanoacrylate glue.

We highly recommend this set to advanced and intermediate modelers seeking the highest level of realism. It is the ideal accessory for ship modeling enthusiasts who care about perfect details and authenticity of the replica.
