Reviews : Trumpeter German Prinz Eugen Cruiser 1945

I built this kit months ago and she is still one of my favorite kits, the detailing was excellent and the addition of the photo etched parts helped to bring the whole kit together. I do recommend however that before and during construction you consult the Internet for images of the ship to help with some of the detailing, for example the aircraft launch cradle, this I had to scratch build. Also had to do some work for the interior of the storage hangar, I was also able to get a believable wood finish on the plastic deck by doing some research on the type of wood used and mixing testors paint, the Plank spacings I drew in with a .03 mechanical pencil. This kit is definitely a must have for any 1/350 scale fanatic such as me and I would absolutely reccomend it, but for the more advanced builder. Tom

This is my second German WWII battleship. I highly recommend this model. I must warn you, there are a lot of small pieces and with small pieces the possibility of parts breaking or losing the parts are high. For the most part, most of the parts fitted. It took more time to complete this model because you will have to pay attention to detail if you want a nice looking model.

Had a blast putting this together. Almost everything fit perfectly. The instructions can be pretty vague but a little thought will get you through it. I would definitely recommend it.

The detail is there, and so is the fit. There are optional pe parts (stairs etc.), plus all the railing.
