H39

 I've just added a hypothetical German ship the H39 class of battleships that was part of the abandoned Z plan. 

As stated on the photo the name is pure guesswork and could be easily changed. I've left the Class name as H39 but I assume this would have also be changed to a Class name (if it had ever been built).

The aircraft is modelled coming out of the hanger. I assume 'Y' turrets guns would have had to be raised to their maximum to allow it to launch (looking at where the catapult is).

Fuso and Benson

The Japanese Battleship Fuso as she appeared in 1944.

These pictures show the model on a Deep base. Its also available on a Thin base with the name at the stern or a waterline version. The model (Deep base version) comes on a raft that you cut away and is hollow with 2mm thick walls.

Benson Class DD

These pictures show the model on a Deep base. Its also available on a Thin base with the name at the stern or a waterline version. The model (Deep base version) comes on a raft (not shown) that you cut away and is hollow with 2mm thick walls.

HMS Arethusa

 I've finally finished HMS Arethusa (as she appeared in 1943). I can print it (and all my models) in three versions: 

• Waterline
• With textures sea base
• Thick 'Hovercraft style'

The model is hollow and comes on a raft that requires cutting away (I use Electical Side snips). I will shortly be uploading the stl to Wargaming3D.com.

This shows the raft that comes with all the models

Removing Supports

 The best way to remove supports is with a pair of Side Cutters like these.

I'm going to be adding similar versions for the other ships in the class. If you are interested in one please get in touch as I might have already done it but not had time to update the blog.

Finished!
