Here some pics of the build:

GRAF SPEE is from Pit-Road. A absolute fantastic detail kit.






For my model in atlantik (01. sept. 1939) I have to scratch built some details. Here the platform of the back-tower:








Ready for painting:








The sailors have begun to repaint the Graf Spee.

Altmark is from hp-models and is made ​​of resin. A good basis. But you have to build extremely much yourself, a handsome model to make it!
