About the Model
Navis-Neptun is known for finely detailed 1/1250 scale metal ship models with accurate silhouettes and carefully rendered fittings. This Gneisenau is made of metal alloy with a realistic, historically inspired paint scheme and markings. It includes:
- 1/1250 scale metal model ship
- Historically accurate surface details, including main and secondary armament, stacks, masts, and lifeboats
- Special painting highlighting the ship's 1941-era lines and appearance
- Original box included
Ship models in this scale are small and proportional to the real vessel. The model will be well packed for shipment; masts and gun barrels are very fine and may need gentle adjustment or minor attention after arrival.

Historical Context: Gneisenau
Commissioned into the Kriegsmarine, Gneisenau and her sister Scharnhorst formed a fast pair of capital ships armed with nine 28 cm guns—often described as battlecruisers abroad for their speed and relative protection compared to full battleships. In 1941 the two ships made a dramatic commerce-raiding cruise in the Atlantic, sinking or capturing Allied merchant shipping and drawing out British naval forces.
Later based at Brest, Gneisenau figured in the Channel Dash of February 1942, when German surface units sprinted home under air cover. For collectors, the T1004S “special painting” release offers a distinctive finish alongside standard Neptun variants—perfect for a 1941 raiding display or a complete Scharnhorst-class shelf.
