Nice models!
The top ship looks near enough identical to the second one apart from the paint job. If so, you would be better to call it the
Admiral Scheer. The
Lützow had different superstructure and an aircraft mounted foward of the funnel; the
Scheer had the same superstructure as the
Graf Spee and the aircraft aft of the funnel.
Achilles was a New Zealander, therefore
HMNZS Achilles, but only after the Royal New Zealand Navy became an entity in its own right in 1941; before that it was the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, and the ship was
HMS Achilles. Its most famous action was probably the Battle of the River Plate, which it repeated when it played itself in the film.
