Trumpeter 05787 - 1/700 German Destroyer Z-25, 1944 Model Kit - Classic Naval Model  [TP05787]

Trumpeter 1/700 German Zerstorer Z-25 (1944) Ship Model

The Trumpeter 1/700 German Zerstorer Z-25 reproduces the silhouette and fittings of a WWII German destroyer for scale display. Modelled as it appeared in 1944, the kit highlights the features that made Z-class ships notable during wartime patrols and escort duties.

Context and Builder Observations

Z-25 is part of the Type 1936A (Mob) lineage, designed with heavier armament and capable machinery. Period references note speeds topping 36 knots and a main armament of five 5-inch guns. The kit offers detailed components that suit careful assembly and period-accurate finishing.

Display Potential and Modelling Considerations

This 1/700 kit is good for collectors who want a compact but detailed ship on their shelf. The sprues include small fittings that capture deck and superstructure detail, and builders should prepare to spend time on painting and rigging to bring out the model's character.
