Dragon’s 1/350 German Z-38 Destroyer captures the Narvik-class Zerstörer 1936A in fine detail. Z38 was commissioned on 20 March 1943 and served as an escort to the battleship Scharnhorst before operating in the Baltic Sea during the latter stages of WWII. With a combat displacement of 3,691 tons and a crew of 330, it was among the most formidable destroyers of its era. Seized by the UK after the war, it served as the test ship Nonsuch before being scrapped in 1950.

This kit showcases Dragon’s slide-mould technology and crisp surface detail for an accurate result, with options to build a full-hull or waterline display. Finely rendered weaponry, radar and fittings are complemented by realistic photo-etched funnel cap grills, while the superstructure, masts and boats are intricately reproduced. Part number HC-D1049.

Germany produced a total of 15 Zerstörer 1936A-class destroyers, which the Allies referred to as the Narvik class. They were actually closer in size to a light cruiser than a destroyer, and they were known only by their hull numbers and didn’t receive any name. They sported powerful 5.9-inch guns, with the last three destroyers constructed by F. Krupp Germaniawerft AG in Kiel. Z38 was the penultimate destroyer of the class after being commissioned on 20 March 1943. One of its first combat missions was to escort the Scharnhorst battleship, and near the end of the war it operated in the Baltic Sea as German forces retreated. Z38 had a combat displacement of 3,691 tons and required a crew of 330 sailors. After WWII it was seized by the UK and used as a test ship under the name Nonsuch before being scrapped in 1950.
