Historical and technical information

The aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was the only type of aircraft carrier designed by the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. Construction of the ship began in 1936, but it was never completed or commissioned due to changing war priorities and technical problems. Nevertheless, the Graf Zeppelin remains one of the most recognizable projects of the German navy from that period. The 1/700 scale model allows for a faithful reconstruction of this WWII carrier with its classic wooden deck, characteristic for this type of vessel.
