Navis Neptun 1/1250 1034 KMS Admiral Scheer, a German Pocket Battleship, 1941
Admiral Scheer is a second-hand, 1/1250 scale, waterline, metal model ofthe pocket battleship. This version is the armoured ship as she appeared for most of WW2 after the tower bridge structure had been removed and replaced by the cylindrical mast with platforms.
This model is in excellent, originalcondition having been stored under glass in warm, dry conditions away from direct sunlight . Photograph to follow.
She was sunk by Allied bombers at the end of WW2 in the basin in Kiel which was infilled after the war and used as a car park. As the entombed wreck has rusted and her hull plating has collapsed, the ground has subsided and the shape of the wreck can be seen under the grass of what is now a park.
