THREE GERMAN SUBS in 1:350
Having finished four german capital ships of WW2, it was time to complement my german collection with some subs. I chose to build one from each important class.

TRUMPETER’S GRAF SPEE IN 1:350
Graf Spee was the third and last of the "Deutschland Class" ships. In Germany they were referred to as "Panzerschiffe", which means "armored ships". In other countries they were called "pocket [...]
Dragons Scharnhorst in 1:350
In the summer of 2010 it finally happened. A major manufacturer issued a kit of the Scharnhorst in 1:350.
The Scharnhorst was one of the most beautiful ships ever built and she had an interesting and dramatic history at well. During the [...]

The russian ones look better though, and since I had won the kit at a contest, I thought [...]
Caio Bella! Italian cruiser Gorizia in 1:400.
Every educated person knows, that the main problem with the plastic model industry is, that there are so few kits of italian cruisers from WWII.;-)
The only injection moulded ones I know of are Tauro's kits in 1:400 of the four cruisers of [...]
Trumpeters USS Hornet in 1:350
I finished the USS Hornet in January 2006. The kit leaves a lot to be wished for. The general shape of the hull is incorrect and the stem in particular is faulty and very clumsy. I strengthened it from the inside with pieces of scrap [...]
Trumpeter's Jeremiah O'Brien in 1:350. A Liberty Ship.
Liberty ships were mass produced during WW2 to meet the losses caused by the german U-boats. Jeremian O'Brien is one of the two Liberty ships in the world that is still preserved, lying moored in San Francisco as a museum ship. She is kept [...]
