GERMAN POCKET BATTLESHIPS. (Reissue)

This is the first volume in a new series providing ship modellers with all they need to know about a famous class of warship and associated model kits. In the volume, the author has chosen the German 'pocket battleships' of WW2, the best known of which was the Admiral Graf Spee, scuttles after the battle of the River Plate in 1939. This innovative and infamous class of surface raiders has long been a popular subject for ship modellers, many manufactures producing kits of the Graf Spee and Admiral Scheer and the rather different Deustschland. This book shows model shipwrights how to turn their kits into something really special, while its unparalleled level of visual information is a superb source for the general warship enthusiast.

Reissue of the first edition in 2004.
