- 🚢Authorized and designed by count_of_brick.
- 🚢With a total of 1639 premium & rich-in-lustre parts.
- 🚢Background:
The Admiral Hipper was a heavy cruiser and the lead ship of the Admiral Hipper class of the German Navy during World War II.
The cruiser was ordered as Kreuzer H and was the second ship in its class. Since there were delays in construction of the actual lead ship Blücher, the Admiral Hipper, built by Blohm & Voss in Hamburg, was the first ship of its class to be launched.
The ship was named after Franz von Hipper, commander of the reconnaissance forces (BdA) in the Battle of the Skagerrak and later commander-in-chief of the High Seas Fleet of the Imperial Navy in World War I.
The design of the model shows the Admiral Hipper in her 1639 camouflage before her decommissioning. - 🚢Since our MOC sets are brand new, it requires 15 days handling time from order to shipment, then shipping takes about another 15 days.
