Hello Pascalemod,
well I nearly missed the armour belt but Dan Banks fortunately directed my attention towards it.
The armour of Graf Spee is more or less well represented on the Trrumpeter kit:

But on the Scheer it was higher reaching the top of the lower row of scuttles - strangely enogh those openings are actually piercing the upper part of the belt:

So my plan is to sand off the original belt, replace it with plastic sheet and re-drill the scuttles, well it will be a long job to do...
Now I follow. It looks less pronounced though? But also, how would you manage to get the bevel edge so well?! I find that is the biggest challenge. Im a bit off put now building Scheer by this inaccuracy, but this is modeling, just a good challenge!
