ICM S017 Markgraf (full hull & waterline), WWI German Battleship 1:700 – Plastic ship model kit

The battleship SMS Markgraf was one of four König-class battleships that served in the Kaiserliche Marine – the Imperial German Navy during World War I. The model offered by the renowned brand ICM in 1:700 scale is a faithfully reproduced miniature of this historic vessel, suitable for display both as a full hull version and as a waterline version. This means the model can be impressively featured in a diorama depicting a naval battle or classically displayed as a standalone ship replica.

SMS Markgraf entered service in 1914, just before the outbreak of the Great War. It took part, among others, in the largest naval battle of the conflict – the Battle of Jutland in 1916, where it demonstrated high resistance to damage and effectively supported other German battleships. The ship was used until the end of the war, up to its internment at Scapa Flow in 1919, where the crew scuttled the vessel to prevent it from being seized by the Allies. Therefore, it is an important part of the history of the German fleet of the World War I era.
