Post by gesalinas »

I need some help to all gentleman in this forum. I have an image at

Image

This is from book: Vom Original zum modell: Deutschland class. It's the hull of Deutschland, that it's not the same that Spee.
I have a lot of questions in this picture. The Graf Spee was 1 meter more greater in beam than Deutschland.
I want to know also if somebody knows where I can get a good plans or drawings of Graf Spee well researched to make a model or if there is a mainframe from original builders.

Thank you in advance,
Gonzalo Salinas.

Although the Kaiserliche, then Reichsmarine, then Kriegsmarine Werft in Wilhelmshaven was destroyed after the war, there apparently are plans still in circulation. The 1936 plan may not be exactly "as built", but I would contact some of the correspondents on the Deutschland Class forum who are discussing matters pertaining to Graf Spee plans: http://www.bismarck-class.dk/forum/view ... ec283b4baf
