Prinz Eugen 1/350.

I must say at the outset I did not build this model, I am simply the present owner, I bought it to add into a Kriegsmarine orientated collect apart from which my late father met her in the Channel in Feb. 1942 along with the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and their numerous escorts.
The model came from Germany to Ireland and had sustained some damage that had to be repaired by a friend of mine, it was then put in a decent case to protect it.

 

The gentleman who made it was highly skilled, I was really taken by it to be honest.

 

Beautiful. I wish I had that kind of patience.

 

I think what really adds to the model is the water scenery around her. You actually have the feeling of movement and speed.

 

Looks really great! Congrats!

 

The upper part of the tower detached, the searchlight/flak position went awol along with one lifeboat and the upper rigging, needless to say, came down.
A few weeks away to get it sorted.

 

very nice.
if only it was in a bottle

 

Poppy I put it in a square bottle.

 

she is a beauty.

 

That is a breathtaking model. Congrats on having that to add to your collection. I’m envious!

 

Thank you I was really very taken by it, it fills a space perfectly.

 

Congrats..sad to see her rusting away in the Bikini Atoll as radioactive scrap...one of my favorite cruisers of the war.

 

James, I've read that for Operation Cerberus the Germans tacked a bunch of extra light AA guns on these ships. Does this model show that? I can't tell from the photos. Thanks, Harold

 

Yes Harolds, the forward 20mm quad in front of "A" turret and the searchlight above the bridge and another one aft of "D" turret.
