Trumpeter 06736 German Gneisenau Battleship 1/700 – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 06736 set is an exceptional, high-quality 1/700 scale plastic model kit depicting the German Kriegsmarine battleship Gneisenau, one of the famous Scharnhorst-class ships. This model is a faithful reproduction of the historic vessel, which was built at the Kiel shipyard in 1936 and served during World War II. The Gneisenau, operated by Germany, took part in many renowned operations – from the famous raid across the Atlantic to the destruction of the Allied aircraft carrier HMS Glorious. The ship was active mainly between 1938 and 1942, when it was heavily damaged during RAF raids in Kiel and withdrawn from active service; for the remainder of the war, it served as a harbor blockship.
