1. Product Introduction: This model was designed by Lars Tüshaus and is officially licensed.
Reviving the Legacy of the "Iron Dog": Composed of 1,759 pieces, this 1:300 scale model recreates the *SMS Derfflinger*—the lead ship of the *Derfflinger*-class battlecruisers, which entered service in 1914. With its sharp, clean lines, classic naval-gray hull, and dark-red underbelly, this model brings to your tabletop the legendary capital ship—a vessel so tenacious in combat that it earned the nickname "Iron Dog."
Innovative Centerline Superfiring Main Battery: Moving away from the wing-turret configuration seen on earlier battlecruisers, this model accurately replicates the *Derfflinger*-class’s signature layout: four twin-gun main turrets arranged along the ship's centerline. Two turrets are positioned at the bow and two at the stern in a "superfiring" (stepped) configuration, with white life rafts cleverly detailed atop three of the turrets.
Robust Heavy Tripod Foremast: Rising above the bridge is a striking black heavy tripod foremast, complete with intricate fire-control observation platforms and diagonal support struts. This structure—complemented by a towering single-pole mainmast aft and two massive, dark-gray smokestacks—delivers a powerful, mechanical aesthetic.
Rich Deck and Lifeboat Davit Details: The wood-toned decking at the bow features a detailed dual-anchor chain arrangement and red-and-green navigation lights. Amidships, flanking the smokestacks, are miniature lifeboats in a brown-and-white color scheme, suspended from angled davits. Along the ship's sides, the model also features finely rendered, densely packed casemates for the secondary armament. A Masterpiece-Level Military Model with a Display Stand and Nameplate: Includes a black display stand and a white nameplate specifically designed for the ship’s slender hull. Comprising 1,759 high-quality, eco-friendly building blocks that fit together securely and firmly, this set is an essential, hardcore construction project for naval history enthusiasts and collectors of military-themed building sets.
