Navis Neptun 31S SMS Scharnhorst, the crack gunnery ship in the Kaiser's Navy 1/1250
A 1/1250 scale model of SMS Scharnhorst, flagship of the East Asiatic Squadron, with sistership Gneisenau, she overwhelmed the British armoured cruisers HMS Good Hope & HMS Monmouth at the Battle of Coronel but was crushed by the British battlecruisers, HMS Invincible & HMS Inflexible at the Battle of the Falklands. The model is painted in the white and buff livery used before the outbreak of war in 1914.
All the ships of this squadron were repainted in light grey around 29th July 1914, immediately before war was declared.
