Why this kit matters

The DKM Peter Strasser was Germany's only completed aircraft carrier during World War II. Although never fully operational, it represents a significant effort by the German Navy to develop carrier aviation capabilities. The Peter Strasser was named after a WWI German naval aviator and was intended to play a key role in German naval strategy. However, due to various factors, including material shortages and changing priorities, it never saw combat and was eventually scuttled in 1945. Building this model allows one to explore a lesser-known aspect of WWII naval history.

This model kit allows you to recreate a detailed replica of this unique aircraft carrier. Building this kit provides an engaging and challenging experience, perfect for those deeply interested in naval history and modelling. The finished model makes an impressive display piece, showcasing the design and potential capabilities of the DKM Peter Strasser.
