1:350 Trumpeter 05370 DKM O-Class Barbarossa WWII - German Battlecruiser Plastic Model kit

Build an impressive German warship project from the never-completed Z-Plan with the 1:350 Trumpeter 05370 DKM O-Class Barbarossa. This extensive plastic model kit contains more than 920 parts and brings the design of a German O-class battlecruiser to life. With a finely rendered wooden deck pattern, photo-etched parts, metal anchor chain and two Arado Ar 196 aircraft, this is a distinctive model that stands apart in any WWII warship collection.

The O-class was developed as part of Germany's Z-Plan as a successor to the Deutschland class and was intended as a fast battlecruiser for operations in the Atlantic. The design featured three twin 380 mm main gun turrets, using the same calibre as Bismarck. Its propulsion arrangement was equally distinctive, with three shafts: steam turbines powered the two outer shafts while a MAN diesel engine drove the centre shaft. This configuration was intended to combine high speed with extended range, with a planned maximum speed of approximately 33.5 knots.

Three ships of the class were planned in 1939 for shipyards in Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, but the construction programme was cancelled before the end of that same year. This makes the O-Class Barbarossa especially interesting for modellers who enjoy not only historical warships but also ambitious German naval projects that never reached completion.
