Tamiya 77520 - 1/700 German Battle Cruiser Gneisenau Model Kit

The German Battle Cruiser Gneisenau stands as a testament to early 20th-century naval engineering. Launched in 1938, this formidable vessel was part of the Scharnhorst class, renowned for its impressive blend of firepower and speed. Despite being officially listed at a displacement of 26,000 tons, the Gneisenau's actual standard displacement was closer to 31,800 tons, indicating its true might.

Armed with nine 28 cm main guns, supplemented by an array of secondary armaments including twelve 15 cm guns and numerous anti-aircraft defenses, the Gneisenau was designed to dominate the seas. Its robust armor and capability to reach speeds of up to 32 knots made it one of the fastest battlecruisers of its time. This Tamiya model kit captures the essence of the Gneisenau, offering enthusiasts a chance to recreate this historic ship in 1/700 scale.
