Altmark (tanker) - 1:250 - HMV
Following up to my build of HMV's drydock, I am now building the tanker/supply ship Altmark to eventually go in it.
The original ship, built between 1936 and 1938, supplied the battleship Admiral Graf Spee, and was at the centre of the Altmark Incident (1940), in which the Royal Navy rescued 299 POWs from the ship in neutral Norwegian waters. The ship was eventually renamed Uckermark, and sunk in Yokohama in 1942.
The model, designed by Peter Brandt, is highly detailed, and I have the photoetched detail set to go with it.
