Country: | She would have made a grand museum. After all, she was Germany's only ever aircraft carrier. | |

Country: | As far as I know, the hull of the Peter Strasser was only about 60 percent completed before she was scrapped. They already had one white elephant on their hands, with the Graf Zeppelin. | |

Country: | Yeah the Peter Strasser was never even close to being finished. Atleast the GZ resembled an aircraft carrier. She deffinatly would have been a beautiful ship and would have been neat to see today.

Country: |  Lanc's lack of faith in my model building skills is not misplaced (this time), I'm afraid.
The model is 1:100 scale. Here's the link. http://www.bismarck-class.dk/shipmod...inliedtke.html
Btw, the small circular platform near the bow was meant to contain a gun mount.
And lanc, wood planking on flight decks was far from unusual at the time. Virtually all of the Japanese and early American carriers had them. | |
