The Gneisenau, completed in 1938, served as a powerful example of the Scharnhorst class. Official tonnage figures showed around 26,000 tons, but her true standard displacement was nearer 31,800 tons, reflecting significant structural mass.
Her armament comprised nine 28 cm main guns, backed by twelve 15 cm secondary guns and several anti-aircraft batteries. Combined with robust armour and top speeds up to 32 knots, the ship offered a blend of protection and pace. This Tamiya kit reproduces those characteristics in 1/700 scale with parts laid out for precise assembly and accurate scale appearance.
