Eaglemoss has officially announced that the 58th warship in their Warships of the World series will be SMS Derfflinger, a WWI-era battlecruiser that served with the German Kaiserliche Marine (#EMGC58). This marks the first warship to be replicated for the German Navy prior to the ascent of the Third Reich and the second vessel in the range to have saw service in the First World War.

Dozens of additional vessels are in the offing (we wish we could read Japanese), and we can only hope that soon the series will turn its attention to post-WWII era warships, an era that sorely needs to be addressed beyond the handful of ships that have already made it to market.
