No surprises with entry no 1 this week as another German Destroyer rolls off the Production line, this is the 4th of the Challenge and also the 9th of 10 German ships for Narvik.
This ship represents Z13 Erich Koellner a Type 1934A Destroyer. She had a very short career, after two mine laying sorties she was involved in the Battle of Narvik, She was hit by HMS Warspite whose 15" shells failed to detonate but even so they caused tremendous damage and the ship was scuttled.
As everyone loved a coloured turret I've done some yellow topped turrets on this ship, as seen during German Operations during the war, it will certainly make the ship more visible on the table.
Points wise it's 40, the ship is a 1/700 kit by Trumpeter Models, next up is the final German Destroyer. Below is a team photo of those done so far, this Challenge
TeemuL: Is there another way to start a Thursday morning than one 1/700 German Destroyer? Excellent work again Ken. Those yellow turrets are not that striking in the photos, but I'm glad if they work on the table. Another 40 points for you!
The ship look great but the water effects still blow me out of the water so to speak, marvellous!
