This kit represents the Scharnhorst as it appeared on its final
mission in 1943.
Dragon’s project to create a 1/350 scale kit of the Scharnhorst
was a mammoth undertaking. The result of 18 months of intensive
labor, the impressively sized kit is Dragon’s first ever battleship
in this scale. And what a battleship it is! The enormous lower hull
is made as a single piece via slide molds, and the accurate hull
includes the correct undercut shapes. The deck fits perfectly onto
the one-piece hull, with a single joint line completely hidden
beneath the superstructure. The deck includes fine lines
representing the plank pattern, and the bridge superstructure is
made to the finest possible thickness. The bridge is also made by
slide molds so that there are no parting lines to mar this highly
visible element. The kit makes use of multimedia materials with a
judicious use of photo-etched parts. The canvas waterproof covers
that fit over the guns in their turrets are made from DS in order
to give the necessary flexibility and realistic texture. The gun
turrets, made by slide molds, are fully detailed, with even their
riveted construction depicted.
