Airfix 1/600
Scale DKM Prinz Eugen
Review by Ian Wilkins This is one of the very highly detailed Airfix kits with just
over 150 finely moulded components. This is the kit that comes closest
to the Repulse kit in terms of quality moudings and detail. My 1986
edition as no moulding flaws of any kind. Parts that stand out are the
light AA, the funnel (covered in detail), the aircraft catapult, torpedo
tubes, and bridge. This kit was first released in 1974 but looks like a
modern product. Airfix did get the overal length of this vessel wrong however
and its is about 16 scale feet too long. Given this, though, the kit overall
is first rate.
