Tamiya 77520 Gneisenau is a high-quality plastic ship model in 1/700 scale from the renowned manufacturer Tamiya, which for years has specialized in delivering advanced scale models for enthusiasts of history and military technology. The Gneisenau was one of the most important German Scharnhorst-class battleships, serving with the Kriegsmarine during World War II. Commissioned in 1938, it actively participated in numerous naval operations, including the famous "Operation Cerberus" (the 1942 Channel Dash) and raids on Allied convoys in the Atlantic.

The model depicts the Gneisenau battleship with historical accuracy, replicating all details of the superstructure, armament, and deck fittings. The ship served mainly during World War II and was among the most recognizable units of the German navy of that era.

The parts are precisely cast, providing excellent fit and a high level of assembly comfort. The kit does not include photo-etched parts or metal barrels – this is a classic plastic model for assembly and painting (glue and paints must be purchased separately).
