Trumpeter 05316 German Pocket Battleship Admiral Graf Spee (1/350) – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 05316 model represents the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in the excellent 1:350 scale, providing a balance between detail and ease of assembly. Admiral Graf Spee was one of three famous "pocket battleships" of the Deutschland class in service with the Kriegsmarine, the navy of Nazi Germany. The ship was built between 1931 and 1936 and entered service just before World War II, at a time of rising political tension in Europe.

This battleship became legendary thanks to its participation in the famous Battle of the River Plate (December 1939), the first major naval engagement of World War II. Operating as a raider in the South Atlantic, the Graf Spee sank nine Allied ships and, after a fierce battle with three British warships, was scuttled near Montevideo. Thanks to its precise reproduction of details, the Trumpeter model perfectly reflects the historic appearance and weaponry of this World War II era ship.
