Simply outstanding work. The level of detail is exceptional! :)

Hello everybody,

I made some changes on the "Admiral Graf Spee". You can see them in the first post.
Thanks again to Weisman for pointing out the mistakes!
_______________________________________________

I have also done some more work on the "Scharnhorst":

1.) January 1939:
"Scharnhorst" as commissioned.

2.) August 1939:
After refit - "Atlantic bow" added, main mast moved further aft, new hangar and raised funnel cap.
[ img ]

3.) November 1939:
"Scharnhorst's" look during the attack on the "Northern Patrol" and the sinking of "HMS Rawalpindi".
Note the added active FuMO 22 radar on the foretop rangefinder.

4.)April 1940 Operation "Weseruebung":
"Scharnhorst" during Unternehmen "Weseruebung" (Operation Weser-Exercise) - the German invasion of Norway. The catapult on top of turret "C" was removed.
[ img ]

5.)Autumn 1940:
In June 1940, during Operation "Juno" and the related sinking of the british Aircraft carrier "HMS Glourious" and her two escort destroyers, "Scharnhorst" suffered heavy damage. A torpedo fired by the valiantly fighting destroyer "HMS Acasta" hit her underneath turret "C" killing 48 members of her crew. Tragically only 40 british sailors surivived the engagement.

The drawing depicts her in autumn 1940 during sea trials in the Baltic Sea after the neccessary repairs were made in the Kiel Shipyard.
Please note that I have only found a single reference drawing showing this type of "baltic" camo on "Scharnhorst" - so take it with a grain of salt...

6.)February 1942:
"Scharnhorst" during the infamous "channel dash" - Operation "Cerberus".
Note the increase in number of light AA guns and the second FuMO 22 set on the aft rangefinder.
Two tripple sets of 533 mm torpedo tubes originating from the light cruiser "Nuernberg" were added midships.

7.) March 1943:
This is "Scharnhorst" during Operation "Paderborn". She spent most of 1943 in Norway paticipating in training excersises and made a few mostly unsuccesful sorties into the Norwegian Sea.
The foretop rangefinder was upgraded with a FuMO 27 (or 26?) and a passive FuMB 7 "Timor".

8.)December 1943:
"Scharnhorst's" final camouflage scheme and how she looked during Operations "Sizilien" and "Ostfront".
"Scharnhorst" was sunk on 26 December 1943 in the "Battle off the North Cape" by superior british forces lead by the battleship "HMS Duke of York".
1.932 members of "Scharnhorst's" crew perished - only 36 survived.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

I made some minor adjustments - i.e. beginning with the 1942 version, the rangefinder of turret "A" was removed and plated over.
