boris279 Posted July 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2019 After finishing my S.M.S Emden I decided to build for my next project the S.M.S Scharhorst scale 1/100 my decision is based on the interesting history of this ship and the in my eyes beautiful lines of her. The hull is purchased from M.Z Modellbau, (so that one is not scratch) the rest of the model i will make from scratch and some purchased parts, so it will be a combination of both. Will build her in the same way as how I build the Emden (administrators feel free to move this topic where you see need too) so I already started with the model will post some pictures below from the beginning of the project and as where i am at the moment.

ccoyle Posted July 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2019 SMS Scharnhorst had a very interesting history, having the tables completely turned on her at the Falkland Islands only a little over a month after Coronel. I look forward to watching this come together. boris279, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

CWG Posted August 3, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 3, 2019 Did you purchase the hull before Zennecker Modellbau went out of business (1/1/2019)? Or can the hull still be purchased? boris279, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris279 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I bought it already a longtime ago from Zinnecker Modellbau. don't think you can buy at MZ anymore, but you can send him a email to know for sure. But you can also buy the same hull in the Ukraine by ml-modelships.

Valeriy V Posted August 6, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 6, 2019 Boris, I congratulate you on your wonderful choice. Scharnhorst is a very beautiful and complex ship. I really like him. I think that Scharnhorst will turn out as successful as your Emden.

boris279 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted August 11, 2019 The paint I used is prepared for me, I'll bought it in a paint shop for car paint. It is a mix out of 50% Ral 8004 and 50% Ral 3013 Diluted with a thinner and applied with a airbrush. lmagna, mtaylor, CWG and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptGuy Posted August 30, 2019 Share #14 Posted August 30, 2019 Am I mistaken or are those rearward firing torpedo tubes above the props? Cursory research of the ship mentions torpedoes but not how they were configured. Thanks mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris279 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share #15 Posted August 30, 2019 This is the rear of the Scharnhorst, there you can clearly see the torpedo tube. Canute, mtaylor, Jeff59 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
