A plastic kit of the German heavy cruiser Blücher in 1:350 scale from the manufacturer Trumpeter. According to the manufacturer it offers an optional full hull or waterline version, engraved decks, the complete armament including the light anti-aircraft weapons, torpedo tube mounts, ship's boats and a crane, two floatplanes molded in clear plastic, photo-etched parts, decals and a display stand.
Blücher was the second unit of the German Admiral Hipper class of heavy cruisers and entered service at the end of 1939. The main armament was eight 20.3 cm guns in four twin turrets, backed by the secondary and anti-aircraft artillery and by torpedo tubes. The cruiser also carried a floatplane and a catapult. Her service was short: on April 9, 1940 she led the German force into the Oslofjord and was sunk by the fire of Norwegian fortress artillery and by torpedoes from the shore. Blücher was therefore never fully committed in the open sea.
Decide right at the start whether you will build the full hull or the waterline version — the rest of the sequence and the stand follow from that. Pull the long hull joints together in sections and let them dry properly. Cement photo-etched parts such as railings and mesh with cyanoacrylate glue only after the base color has been sprayed. Mask the decks and the superstructures apart with masking tape, and paint the clear aircraft parts with the frames masked. Keep the weathering in proportion to the short service of the real ship; heavy rust streaks would not look true on her.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
