ICM > WWI German Battleship "Markgraf" Model Kit, 1:350 Scale [S.005]

Description: ICM > WWI German Battleship "Markgraf" Model Kit, 1:350 Scale SMS Markgraf[a] was the third battleship of the four-ship König class. She served in the Imperial German Navy during World War I. The battleship was laid down in November 1911 and launched on 4 June 1913. She was formally commissioned into the Imperial Navy on 1 October 1914, just over two months after the outbreak of war in Europe. Markgraf was armed with ten 30.5-centimeter (12.0 in) guns in five twin turrets and could steam at a top speed of 21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph). Markgraf was named in honor of the royal family of Baden. The name Markgraf is a rank of German nobility and is equivalent to the English Margrave, or Marquess. Along with her three sister ships, König, Grosser Kurfürst, and Kronprinz, Markgraf took part in most of the fleet actions during the war, including the Battle of Jutland on 31 May and 1 June 1916. At Jutland, Markgraf was the third ship in the German line and heavily engaged by the opposing British Grand Fleet; she sustained five large-caliber hits and her crew suffered 23 casualties. Markgraf also participated in Operation Albion, the conquest of the Gulf of Riga, in late 1917. The ship was damaged by a mine while en route to Germany following the successful conclusion of the operation. After Germany's defeat in the war and the signing of the Armistice in November 1918, Markgraf and most of the capital ships of the High Seas Fleet were interned by the Royal Navy in Scapa Flow. The ships were disarmed and reduced to skeleton crews while the Allied powers negotiated the final version of the Treaty of Versailles. On 21 June 1919, days before the treaty was signed, the commander of the interned fleet, Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, ordered the fleet to be scuttled to ensure that the British would not be able to seize the ships. Unlike most of the scuttled ships, Markgraf was never raised for scrapping; the wreck is still sitting on the bottom of the bay.Completed model is approximately 19.8" longIncludes rigging notes, painting guide and decals for aerial recognition rings, jack, Imperial battle flag and admiral's pennantParts: 518 Skill Level: 2 Condition: New Paint & Cement Sold Separately on Our Store (Coming Soon!) ***Please Note That Box May Show Some Shelf Wear (See Pictures)*** Please Address Any Questions Or Concerns Before Purchasing If You Find Your Product and Services Satisfactory, Please Leave a Positive Feedback, Likewise, if You Encounter any Issues With Your Order, Please Contact Us Before Leaving Negative Feedback, and We Will Attempt to Resolve the Issue. ***SHIPPING***Items Are Shipped Via.
