About this kit
The Tamiya 1/700 Prinz Eugen German Heavy Cruiser (31805) reproduces the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser that fought alongside the Bismarck during the fateful sortie in May 1941 — she was present when the Bismarck sank HMS Hood, and she detached before the Bismarck was cornered and sunk. Prinz Eugen subsequently participated in the Channel Dash of February 1942 and served in the Baltic before being surrendered to the United States at the war's end. She was later expended as a target in the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests.
