Tamiya 77518 1/700 Scharnhorst Collector Edition Kit  [77518]

Scale Presentation for Tamiya 77518 1/700 Scharnhorst

The German battle cruiser Scharnhorst combined speed with notable wartime duties, sailing with Gneisenau and earning attention for its streamlined look. This Tamiya 1/700 Water Line Series kit allows builders to recreate that distinct profile with accurate parts and proportions.

Performance and Hull Lines

With a top speed near 32 knots, Scharnhorst was unusually quick for a capital ship and participated in several key operations. Its hull form and superstructure proportions make it a compelling subject for scale reproduction.

Building Considerations

The kit rewards careful work and is suited to modellers comfortable with small components and fine joins. Tamiya moulding yields crisp parts that assemble into a faithful miniature of the original cruiser.

Display Potential

Completed builds present well in cabinets or on dedicated bases and complement collections of naval or World War II subjects. The finished model benefits from neat painting and precise rigging for stronger visual impact.
