The Deutschalnd class Panzerschiffe was a class of three heavily armed cruisers built by the Reichsmarine in the early to mid 1930s.    The three ships fought for the Kriegsmarine during WW2 and were deployed as commerce raiders at the start of the war. Graf Spee sank 9 merchant ships before being intercepted by a Royal Navy flotilla. During the subsequent Battle of the River Plate she damaged the british ships but sustained damage herself. She was scuttled by her crew several days later.  This model comes in several parts. The hull is a single piece with the cranes and turrets being separate.   The model is designed in 1/1800 scale but prints at 1/2400 perfectly.    We have tested a few of our designs at two additional scales: 1/3000 and 1/1200 which have all turned out really well. At 1/3000 scale though some components are very small and require additional patience when assembling.
