The Takom 7039 SMS Derfflinger 1917 (Waterline with 3D printed FF-33E) in 1/700 scale is an exceptional set that allows for a faithful recreation of the famous German battlecruiser from the period of World War I.

SMS Derfflinger is one of the icons of the Imperial German Navy, being part of the Derfflinger class – a group of powerful and modern battlecruisers for their time. This ship participated in the most important operations of the German Navy during the Great War, such as the Battle of Dogger Bank (1915) and the Battle of Jutland (1916). It also took part in bombardments of the English coast. After the war, along with the entire German Hochseeflotte, the vessel was scuttled at Scapa Flow in 1919.
