Navis Neptun 1/1250 1004 Gneisenau German Battlecruiser 1940-41 model ship
Gneisenau is a second-hand, 1/1250 scale, metal model of theGerman Battlecruiser from 1939-41 made by Neptun No.1004. The model is in very good condition, see photograph.
This model shows Gneisenau as she was for most of her active service during WW2. During the Channel Dash, the ship had extra AA guns (NN1004A). For a model of Gneisenau as built, Scharnhorst (NN1003A), is the best representation and for a model with 15" guns see Gneisenau (NN1004B).
Navis, Neptun and the associated companies (Spidernavy, NN-Cad and Copy Modelle) have been out of production for the last four years. No-one can tell us when or if they will be produced again. This model was stored under glass, in dry, warm conditions out of direct sunlight. The orignal boxes were not available and the modelhas been re-boxed for sale.
