Description: NO RESERVE. 1/1250 Deutsche Marine Frigate Koln, Pennant F120, Koln-class, 1961 - 1982. Koln was the lead ship of a 6-ship class of frigates which were the first major warships to be built in Germany following the end of WWII. Laid down between December 1957 and July 1960 with the last active unit being decommissioned in December 1989, they served their entire time in the West German Bundesmarine before Germany's Unification on October 3, 1990. The Koln-class frigates were the first ships to feature a combined diesel and gas propulsion system (CODAG), consisting of diesel engines for cruising and gas turbines which can be turned on for high speed transit and operations. Koln was laid down on December 21, 1957, launched on December 8, 1958 and commissioned on April 15, 1961. Following her active service, she was used as a training hulk. One of the five other ships in the class was scrapped after being decommissioned but the remaing four were sold to Turkey. This group of models are full-hull pieces with the complete underwater portion, including screws and rudders. Very nicely detailed with well-defined mask lines between the different colors of paint used to add to their authenticity. The model comes mounted on a black resin base and is packed between two matching formed clear plastic "supporting" pieces which are carried inside a formed flexible outer plastic point-of-sale display case mounted on a cardboard backing card. It is recommended that the model be kept upright when the packaging is opened so that it doesn't lean over and bend or break off a fragile part like a mast. Once unpacked, the ship's masts, yards and radars might require slight 'tweaking' to properly straighten or align them. Diecast model hull with plastic parts. DeAgostini #DAKS43. MIB. However, as suggested above, the nature of these models is such that small parts including masts, antenna, bridge deck levels and turrets and gun barrels can be misaligned. These conditions are generally only noticeable at close inspection and often can be carefully 'tweaked' into proper alignment. Although the models in this series that we sell are all factory-new, we cannot make any representations that all their features are perfectly straight and correctly positioned. Have opened the model's outer packing and then removed the model from between the two plastic supporting pieces in order to take the pictures used in this listing. Once finished we replaced the model in its packaging and then taped the outer plastic point-of-sale display case to the cardboard backing card.
