The World War Two-era German Scharnhorst-class battleship Gneisenau was fit with variously sized and configured scuttles on the main deck permitting crew access through the deck. Each scuttle was a raised, boxy structure with a sloping, hinged lid. Gneisenau's scuttles were different than sistership Scharnhorst's scuttles. Gneisenau also had more of them.

These model scuttles are original designs. They are NOT 3D-printed copies of any plastic or resin kit's parts therefore they may be sized and shaped differently than the parts in your plastic or resin kit. Some adjustment to your kit's parts or other aftermarket sets such as photo etch or wood decks may be needed for best fit.
