Commissioned in 1939 as the lead ship of her class, she combined heavy armor protection with eight 20.3cm guns, designed to challenge Allied cruisers and disrupt vital Atlantic trade routes. In 1940 she played a direct role in Operation Weserübung, the invasion of Norway, engaging British forces in the Trondheim campaign before later sorties into the North Atlantic against Allied convoys. Her operations underscored both the reach and the limitations of Germany’s surface fleet strategy during the opening years of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 294 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam: 33 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 260+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 6 sprues, lower hull, upper hull, deck, waterline plate and stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEither waterline version or full hull version can be selected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53224501412053,"sku":"TRP5775","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-5775-1-700-german-admiral-hipper-heavy-cruiser-1940-model-kit.jpg?v=1771618747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-5775-1-700-german-admiral-hipper-heavy-cruiser-1940-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
