1/350 DKM Graf Zeppelin
Trumpeter 1/350 DKM Graf Zeppelin is a plastic kit of the only German aircraft carrier ever launched. It has over 840 parts, photo-etch, a metal chain and an air wing. Paints and glues needed for assembly are not included.
Graf Zeppelin was an aircraft carrier of the Kriegsmarine and the only German carrier ever launched. Her keel was laid on 28 December 1936 at Deutsche Werke in Kiel. Disputes between the navy and the air force and the outbreak of war repeatedly delayed construction until it was halted in 1940, and the ship was never completed. She was scuttled in April 1945, raised by the Soviets after the war and destroyed as a target ship in 1947.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/350 scale contains, according to the manufacturer, over 840 parts on 32 sprues, a two-part hull, a stand, a metal anchor chain and photo-etched parts for both the ship and the aircraft. The flight deck and hangar deck are detailed. The air wing comprises Ar 195, Bf 109, Ju 87 and Fi 167 aircraft, and decals are provided for the ship and the aircraft. The finished model is about 750 mm long.
This unrealised German naval project is a rewarding subject for modellers who enjoy unusual prototypes with a rich level of equipment. Paints and glues needed for assembly are not included.
