This papermodel recreates the famous German coast defense battleship SMS Beowulf, a Siegfried-class ironclad launched in 1890 at A.G. Weser in Bremen.

This high-quality HMV Publishing papermodel kit features 854 precision-cut parts across 8 DIN A4 sheets. The model highlights include the ship’s elegant lines, turnable gun turrets, golden bow and stern decorations, and detailed torpedo net bearings.
