Altaya 1/1250 MAG KZ05 German Battleship Gneisenau 1940-42

Altaya MAG KZ05 1/1250th German Battleship Gneisenau 1940-42. This model of Gneisenau has the Atlantic bow which was added in the refit at the start of WW2. Immediately after the Channel Dash, Gneisenau was badly damaged by the RAF and A turret magazine exploded. The decision was made to replace all the 11" guns 6x15" and to extend the bow so Gneisenau was taken into a drydock and the bow was cut off and the turrets were taken to be fitted on the Atlantic Wall in Denmark and Norway. The ship was never repaired and was sunk off Poland when the Russians broke through from the east.
