Italeri 0507 1/720 German Cruiser Lutzow

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Packing a punch
Cruisers, by nature are lightly armoured and heavily armed, but Lutzow took that philosophy to a whole new extreme. Her main battery consisted of six 11-inch guns! She was designed to offset Germany's numerical inferiority and provide the punch the Kriegsmarine needed to knock capital ships out of the fight quickly. Despite her advantages, however, Lutzow had a very tough career indeed. Battle damage, conflicting orders, and Allied air supremacy kept Lutzow in the repair dock or port for much of her twelve year service career.
