Tamiya 31908 - 1/700 Z Class Barbara Twin Kit (2pcs) Collector Edition  [31908]

Historical overview of the Z Class destroyers and upgrades

The German Z Class destroyers, including Z37 through Z39, illustrate how wartime needs drove changes in armament and layout. Initially carrying 12.7cm guns, some ships were upgraded with 15cm guns and a twin-forward turret to increase striking power. Later, Project Barbara added heavier anti-aircraft weaponry to counter increasing air threats during the later stages of the conflict.

Details captured in the 1/700 scale model

Tamiya's model provides parts to represent both the earlier and Project Barbara refitted appearances. The kit features well-defined radar fittings and components representing 37mm and 20mm AA guns, allowing modellers to depict the evolution of these destroyers accurately.

Display value and model appeal

The two-ship set is an appealing addition for collectors and modellers focused on naval history. The included flag decals and painting chart support faithful reproductions suitable for display or small dioramas.
