Description
SMS Emden light cruiser was built by Kaiserliche Werft Danzig dockyard (nowadays Gda?sk in Poland). The construction process began in 1906, the launching of the ship took place on 26 May 1908. Together with SMS Dresden, she belonged to Dresden protected cruiser class.
SMS Emden was put into service on 1 April 1910. Eleven days later she was sent to the German colony Qingdao (Tsingtao) in China. The destination was reached on September that year. There the ship was incorporated into German East Asia Squadron. In 1913 Lieutenant-Commander Karl von Müller took command of the ship. He was soon promoted to the rank of full Commander.
REVIEWS
As well as the history of the vessel and table f technical details, this new book in the Super Drawings series from Kagero gives the now standard series of views of all the many details of the hull, the armament and other equipment fitted to th Emden, covering it all from bow to stern. These excellent computer generated images are excellent, and provide an excellent reference for modelers who might be making the Revell 1/350 kit of this ship. These fill the first 61 pages of this soft cover book. The final section of 16 pages will look odd at first glance, but these are 3D images that need to be viewed through the red and green lenses of the viewer that is also included within the book. I have to say that these are among the most effective of these 3D images I can remember seeing, and they really do look quite amazing when seen through the special viewer. Kagero have made a very good job of these.
