Fast (she almost got away from HMS Duke of York, cruisers and destroyers at North Cape), well armoured but her 11" armament is too light to tangle with a true battleship, she is after all still a battlecruiser.
A beautiful ship nevertheless.
Again, painted a while ago now so the paint scheme is lighter than I would have liked it and the Ardo float plane needs some crooses, however no complaints about the model. Revell also produced a 1/1200 her sister the KM Gneisenau, nicely fitted with a second float plane as per her historical difference not just a different box cover.
Footnote: I have a nearly completed 1/700 waterline KM Scharnhorst from Tamiya tucked away in some loft space still calling to me :)

Nice
Thanks I must paint her sister and get hold of a 1/1200 version of the Prinz Eugen (or even scratch build one)
Time has moved on I now have the Prince Eugen from the Airfix Sink The Bismarck kit
Still a popular post as people are still viewing it
I must also paint her sister ship the Gneisenau
