German Z-39 Destroyer
Earlier this year Dragon launched its exquisitely detailed Scharnhorst battleship in 1/350 scale. This stunning kit raised the bar to new heights, and quickly established a benchmark in plastic ship kits. Dragon is now following up this success with a second German ship in the same 1/350 scale – the Z-39 destroyer. Dragon created the best German battleship kit in the market, and now done the same with a German destroyer!
Though this kit of Z-39 is smaller than the Scharnhorst, there is no reduction at all in the level of detail. This is a brand new kit with all-new toolings, with only the launch and twin 3.7cm anti aircraft guns being reused from the preceding model. The kit is produced with the highest levels of engineering and molding excellence. The gun turrets, for example, are finely and fully detailed. The destroyer can be assembled as a full-hull or waterline-hull model. A comprehensive selection of photo-etched parts are available to upgrade this sophisticated plastic kit. To finish it off, there are even some miniature figures to add, three of which are in completely new poses. This is an amazing kit, and is a most worthy partner to the Scharnhorst!
