She was involved in the invasion of Norway in 1940, during which she sank the British carrier HMS Glorious. Scharnhorst finally succumbed to mortal wounds off North Cape in Norway in December 1943. The new Scharnhorst has been given a complete overhaul to backdate her to the correct configuration for the 1941 time period.
The enormous lower hull is made as a single piece via slide molds, and the accurate hull includes the correct undercut shapes. Also new are forward superstructure, an Arado Ar 196 reconnaissance seaplane, crane and etc. The kit makes use of multimedia materials such as photo-etched and DS parts.
