Dragon 7126 Ship Model - German Z-31 Destroyer (Plastic model)

This magnificently detailed model was enthusiastically received by modelers because of its accuracy and easy assembly. Dragon is now pleased to offer a 1/700 scale kit of the same Z31 destroyer. It was one of the Zerstorer 1936A (Mob) class, also known to the Allies as a Narvik-class destroyer. Z31 was laid down on 1 September 1940 and it was commissioned on 11 April 1942. Interestingly, this warship survived WWII and was taken by France as war booty in December 1945. It subsequently served in the French Navy as Marceau (Q 103) before being scrapped in 1958. Dragon's model of this German warship is a Smart Kit, meaning it is incredibly well engineered to achieve maximum levels of accuracy and ease of assembly. Just like its 1/350 scale sister, this new kit receives a brand new bridge and associated detail. The guns and turrets are all reproduced very well even in this smaller scale. The entire hull has also been produced afresh specifically for the Z31, and, as is Dragon's norm, the kit allows modelers to build a waterline hull or full-hull version. The kit exhibits quite a number of important differences to the previously released Z39, and it will indeed make an ideal patrolling partner when they take to the sea! « less
