Description

COBI Historical Prinz Eugen Heavy Cruiser German Navy Model Block Set # 4823
Prinz Eugen entered service in 1940 and was the only major German ship to
survive the war, but ultimately met a surprising end. In May 1941 she
accompanied the battleship Bismarck on Operation Rheinbung, during which she
battled the British ships Hood and Prince of Wales, sinking the former.
Damaged by the Prince of Wales, she underwent a renovation, during which the
Prinz Eugen was bombed by the Allies. In February 1942, together with the
battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, she participated in Operation Cerberus,
which was designed to take large Kriegsmarine ships from France to Germany.
From 1942 to 1943 she served mainly in the Baltic Sea as a school ship. From
October 1944 to April 1945 she supported German troops fighting in Kurlandia
and then East Prussia. On the 8th of April, 1945, Prinz Eugen sailed to
Copenhagen, where she was transferred to the British in May 1945.
From the COBI building block set you can build a model of the
famous heavy German cruiser Prinz Eugen. The model was designed on a model
scale of 1:300. The set consists of 1785 blocks and provides many hours of
exciting construction and fun. The high-quality prints, applied with
precision, reproduce the painting of the hull and details of the ship during
World War II. Prints don't smear or scratch even in intense play. Once built,
the realistic-looking ship can be attached to the display stand included in
the set. Many of the components are movable (rotating cannons, movable barrels and ship
cranes).
