Scharnhorst 1/150 Scale 1475mm (58") Battleship
Battleship? Battlecruiser? Heavy Cruiser? Yes to All!
First laid down in 1935, the Scharnhorst class was the last traditional class of armored cruisers built by the Kaiserliche Marine. The class comprised two ships, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Both vessels worked together in actions which included the sinking of the British aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, during which Scharnhorst scored one of the longest recorded hits in naval history at ~16 miles range.
Bancroft’s Elite Series of warships continues with the 1/150 scale Scharnhorst. Display this museum piece on your mantle or astonish your RC boat club with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) RC battleship. Over 400 total parts and 100 man-hours of work are already completed for you. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the vessel can be sailing within minutes of arrival, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter and 2s Li-Ion battery. Only four AA batteries and minimal final assembly is required.

Pin-Sized Details Over 100 hours of handcrafted details are built at the factory using hundreds of fingernail sized brass Photo-Etched (PE) parts and larger sub-assemblies. Launches, rigging, railings and hand holds cover the vessel. |
Pre-Installed Superstructure Each Scharnhorst is hand crafted by factory artisans, assembling each component from multiple materials before painting and installation. Casement-mounted batteries, search and signal housings, crow's nests and davits are everywhere! |
Genuine Wood Deck The Scharnhorst's many exposed decks are planked with laser-cut and laser-etched genuine wood. |
Pre-Installed Rigging All rigging lines are pre-installed at the factory for your convenience. |
Photo-Etched Brass Foredeck Textured photo-etched (PE) foredeck and aftdeck is made of brass, pre-painted, and pre-installed. Amazingly sharp details are rendered in pin-sized resolution at 1/150 scale! |
RTR - Ready To Run A 2.4Ghz radio system is included and pre-installed, as are all internal electronics. A primary battery and charger are also included. Simply charge the included primary battery with the included charger, then insert your AA batteries into the radio transmitter to begin sailing! At 58" long, you'll need a large shelf or mantle to display this beast, and be mindful of its very tall masts. These are easily removable to facilitate transport. |
