Admiral Graf Spee, Trumpeter 1/350 scale model. Kit is new and is sealed
Trumpeter’s 1/350 scale Admiral Graf Spee (Kit No. 05316) is a premier injection-molded rendition of Germany’s famous Panzerschiff. The specific kit offered here is brand new, unstarted, and remains sealed in its original factory shrink wrap, ensuring that all sprues, slide-molded 11-inch gun barrels, Arado Ar 196 floatplane, display stand, and dedicated photo-etched frets are pristine and complete.
Commissioned in 1936, the diesel-powered Admiral Graf Spee was built within nominal Versailles restrictions, pairing battleship-caliber firepower with cruiser speed to excel as a long-range commerce raider. Under Kapitän zur See Hans Langsdorff, she sank nine Allied merchant vessels in the South Atlantic without inflicting a single casualty among merchant crews. Her career culminated in December 1939 at the Battle of the River Plate. Damaged after engaging three British cruisers and trapped in neutral Montevideo, Langsdorff scuttled the ship on December 17 to preserve his crew\'s lives.
