I have completed my collection of German Battlecruisers, and now I can display the whole squadron of Admiral Hipper at Jutland. Here it is, forming into line of battle on the afternoon of May 31st, 1916.

The first 3 ships can be found on this page

Now, here is SMS Lützow, Hipper's flag ship, and also the only German Battlecruiser sunk at Jutland

Lastly, a topdown group shot, highlighting the fast evolution of German Battlecruisers. Von der Tann is the first built, Derfflinger the last and only 5 years elapsed between their launching dates. All ships, except for the Lützow were armed with 11" guns, the Lützow's main battery was 12".

Surely Lutzow's sister, Derfflinger, also had a 12" main battery?

@BillyNM – you are correct. Foxbat, great work on these! These BCs make a great a great 5-ship project. Hard not to toss Hindenburg and Mackensen into the mix for some late-war scenarios.

As always, very nice work.
