Commissioned in 1939 as part of Germany’s ambitious naval expansion, she and her sister Gneisenau represented a new generation of fast, heavily armored surface raiders designed to challenge Allied sea lanes. Her early-war Atlantic sorties—most notably Operation Berlin in 1941—demonstrated the potency of the Kriegsmarine’s commerce warfare strategy, sinking or capturing over 100,000 tons of Allied shipping and forcing the Royal Navy to divert significant resources in pursuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship’s career culminated in the dramatic Battle of the North Cape in December 1943, where she engaged British forces in Arctic waters while attempting to disrupt convoys bound for the Soviet Union. Outgunned and ultimately overwhelmed by radar-directed fire from HMS Duke of York and accompanying cruisers and destroyers, she met her end in a fierce surface action that marked one of the last classic battleship engagements in European waters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 672.6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam: 85.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 990+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Parts: shaft, anchor chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: 5 pcs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 17 sprues, decks and hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHull made from two-directional slide molds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck wood pattern finely rendered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains display stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212763881685,"sku":"TRP5361","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-5361-1-350-german-battleship-scharnhorst-model-kit.jpg?v=1771347336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-5361-1-350-german-battleship-scharnhorst-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
