The plastic model of the Schleswig – Holstein battleship from 1908 in 1/350 scale, manufactured by the renowned company Trumpeter, is an excellent choice for advanced modelers passionate about naval history and ship modeling. This model faithfully reproduces the German pre-dreadnought battleship that made its mark in history as an important vessel of the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy).

Schleswig – Holstein was built at the beginning of the 20th century, entered service in 1908, and was actively used during the period of World War I. However, it gained fame during World War II – its salvos fired on September 1, 1939, against the Polish military depot at Westerplatte symbolically marked the outbreak of the Second World War. After the war, the battleship was taken over by the Soviet Union.
