NOT AVAILABLE

Trumpeter 05762 USS Alabama (BB-60) 1/700 SCALE. USS Alabama (BB-60) was an American battleship laid down in 1940, launched in February 1942, and commissioned into the United States Navy in August 1942. The ship was 210 m long, 33 m wide, and her full displacement displacement - at the time of launch - 44,500 tons. The maximum speed of the battleship USS Alabama was up to 27.5 knots. The main armament was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament consisted mainly of 20 127 mm guns. USS Alabama was the fourth and final battleship of the South Dakota class. This type of ship was one of the first modern ships of the United States Navy of the World War II period. During their construction, emphasis was placed on better armor than the North Carolina-class battleships, but with the same main armament and top speed. The power of the engine room was also significantly increased and the torpedo protection of the hull was improved. USS Alabama entered combat operations in World War II in 1943, initially operating as part of the British Home Fleet in the North Atlantic, but from November of that year the ship served in the Pacific. In early 1944, USS Alabama supported Operation Flintlock, that is, the American landings in the Marshall Islands area, and shortly thereafter played a covering role in a carrier squadron whose actions were aimed at the Carolinas. In June 1944, USS Alabama participated very actively in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, operating until November of the same year in the Philippines. In May 1945, the ship once again acted as cover for the high-speed carrier squadron and supported operations on Okinawa and against the remaining islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago. USS Alabama (BB-60) was decommissioned in 1947 and has served as a museum ship since 1964.

She returned to service after the outbreak of the Korean War, being used in the Atlantic Ocean to replace units engaged in the conflict. In 1960 she was decommissioned again, being subsequently sold for demolition in 1968. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

ICM S017 WWI German Battleship Markgraf 1/700 scale, plastic kit for assembly. SMS Markgraf was a German battleship (so-called dreadnought) of the First World War. The keel of this unit was laid in 1911, the launching took place in June 1913, and the entry into service in the Kaiserliche Marine - in 1914. The length of the ship was 175.4 meters and a width of 29.5 meters. The full displacement reached about 28,600 tons, and the maximum speed - about 21-22 knots. The deck armament, at the time of launching, consisted of 10 305 mm guns, 14 150 mm guns, 10 88 mm guns and 5 torpedo tubes. SMS Markgraf was one of four König-class battleships. The battleships of this type were designed and built to be very similar to the preceding German battleship class, the Kaiser. Both classes of ships had almost identical combat capabilities and weapons. The main difference was a slightly different arrangement of the main artillery on the König-class battleships. Originally, it was also planned to use a mixed transmission consisting of steam turbines and a diesel engine, but in the end three steam turbines were used as the transmission. One of the battleships of this type was SMS Markgraf, built at the AG Weser shipyard in the city of Bremen. The unit took an active part in the most important operations of the German Navy during the First World War, and in particular in the Battle of Jutland (31 May – 1 June 1916). It was damaged in the course of it, but was capable of further action. In October 1917 the ship took part in operations in the Baltic Sea, more precisely in Operation Albion. On the way back from this operation, it stepped on a mine, but successfully made it to port. After the end of the war, SMS Markgraf was interned at the British base at Scapa Flow, where she was scuttled by her own crew on 21 June 1919. The wreck has not been excavated from the seabed to this day. We do not ship to the Canary Islands
