Product Description

Build a piece of maritime history with the HMV Sounding Vessel Schaarhörn 1:250 Scale Card Model Kit (No. 103308) — a beautifully detailed paper model of the famous Hamburg museum ship. Designed by Peter Brandt and published by HMV Hamburger Modellbaubogen Verlag, this kit lets you recreate the elegant steamer Schaarhörn, restored to her 1999 appearance.

Originally launched in 1908 at the Janssen & Schmilinski shipyard in Hamburg, the Schaarhörn served as a sounding and survey steamer (“Peil- und Bereisungsdampfer”) and later as an auxiliary minesweeper during World War I. Today, she proudly sails as a museum ship in the Port of Hamburg, representing a true symbol of maritime engineering and elegance.

This HMV kit offers both waterline and full-hull build options, featuring finely detailed lifeboats, funnels, davits, shrouds, and a model stand. With 334 parts printed on high-quality DIN A4 sheets, the model promises rewarding construction and exceptional realism.
