KenR: 1/700 Z22 Anton Schmitt German Destroyer (40 points)

Second entry of the week and I've managed to keep up with my planned ship a week. This time its Destroyer number 8 of 10 for the Germans at Narvik

The ship is a 1/700 scale model from Trumpeter, I'm very impressed with these kits which are full of detail without being ridiculously difficult to put together. After the excitement of the red Turrets last week, I've turned down the heat with a plain light grey ship with aerial recognition flags front and rear, maybe next week I'll have some coloured Turrets 😉

The model represents Z22 Anton Schmitt which was a Type 1936 Destroyer named after a German Sailor who was the last man on the last gun operating on the German Light Cruiser Frauenlob at the battle of Jutland, he went down with the ship. She was sunk in the initial British attack on Narvik whilst still in port. 50 crew were lost, the remaining men joined the ad hoc German Naval Infantry units in the land campaign.

So that's another 40 points towards my total, to keep me on course towards my 1500 points total for the Challenge. At the moment I've got the next German Destroyer being built and some Spanish Italian Wars Cavalry hopefully ready for next week. Until then here is a group shot of the ships to date.

TeemuL: Big ships, what's there not to like? Excellent quality once a again and I like your athmospheric photos, too. 40 points to your tally and expecting two posts next week. :)
