Nuremberg complete with detailed fitting set. Scale 1/200.

The Nürnberg, was a German cruiser of the Leipzig class named after the city of Nuremberg. While providing cover for minelaying operations off the British north coast during 1939, Nürnberg was torpedoed by HMS Salmon and damaged badly.She was under repair until spring 1940, and so missed the Norwegian campaign. From summer 1940 through January 1945, Nürnberg served either in and off Norway or in German home waters.At the end of the war the ship was surrendered to the Allies.Assigned as a war prize to the Soviet Navy, she was entered on the Soviet navy records on 5 November 1945 and assigned to the Baltic Fleet.In 1946 Nürnberg was renamed Admiral Makarov. She then served as flagship of the soviet 8th (Northern Baltic) fleet, based at Tallinn, until 1955. In February 1957, she was re-classified a training cruiser and scrapped in February 1959 .
