Admiral Graf Spee is a German "pocket battleship" of the Deutschland class, serving in the Kriegsmarine during World War II. The ship became famous in the Battle of the River Plate in December 1939, where it fought against British and New Zealand cruisers. After fierce fighting, the commander decided to scuttle the vessel off the coast of Uruguay to prevent its capture by the Allies.

The publication presents in detail the original appearance of the vessel in 1939, camouflage patterns, armament, radar, rangefinders, superstructure elements, as well as the catapult with the Arado Ar 196 reconnaissance aircraft. The included blueprints in popular scales are an invaluable aid for any modeler building Admiral Graf Spee in plastic, paper, or with 3D printing.

This book belongs to the category of modeling literature – warship monograph with blueprints. We highly recommend it to all modelers from intermediate to advanced level (difficulty of use: 3/5), who plan to build Kriegsmarine ships or wish to enrich their knowledge with historical and technical details of this famous combat vessel. The publication is also an excellent source of inspiration for creating realistic dioramas and for accurate replication of model details.
