A 1/1250 scale waterline metal model of the Multi-Role Combat Ship (MKS 180) for the German Navy. An initial batch of four ships have been ordered and the first is expected to enter service in 2027. These ships are intended to replace the Brandenburg class frigates already in service. They are designed to hold mission modules to equip them for special tasks within the range that existing ships have been called upon to perform over the last 30 years.
