Re: Z-39 German WW2 Destroyer

Excellent job Haig👍👍👍 I see you've even managed to build in the lousy seakeeping of the originals!😉 Caused by trying to make up for lack of numbers by giving them light cruiser guns. Looking forward to one of your great videos of her. I have the 1/72 plans for an earlier type 1936 version in my stash. Idea is to make a contemporary opponent for my 1/72 H class HMS Hotspur H01 as in the Narvik battle. HMS Hotspur in pic alongside my 1/72 U-25. She has rotating aft turrets only as the foredeck is one piece glued in to stiffen the hull. Working on a 'plug-in module' idea (like the Blohm & Voss MEKO ships) to get round that. Also has NAV, search and signal lamps, whoop whoop and fog horns, smoker and a somewhat 'out of period' rotating radar on the director tower. That will be replaced with a more typical Yagi - when I can get around to it.🤔 (Anyone got a Round Tuit to spare please?🤣) Keep 'em coming Haig. Cheers Doug😎
