Admiralen class Destroyer – Batch 1
$9.00
The Admiralen class Destroyers were a class of 8 ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy, build in two different versions. All fought in WW2 and none survived the war.
The ships could carry a sea-plane for scouting, which was an interesting feature for a Destroyer, although the plane had to be lowered in the sea by a crane, no catapult was present.
The ships were build in 2 batches. Each batch with difference in weapons and usage. Both carried four 120mm guns, with some minor difference in the mounts, four 13mm (.5 inch) Browning Machine guns, 4 depth-charge launchers, and 6 torpedo-tubes (2 x 3)
Batch I had the option for mine laying and carried two 75 mm AA guns.
Batch II was focused on mine-sweeping, carried one 75 mm AA, four 40 mm AA and carried 4 extra torpedo’s for a limited torpedo re-load at sea.

There are named bases provided for each ship in two versions, text recessed and the text raised. I used the recessed version for FDM printed bases. Finally a base class text is also included. Do not forget to also re-scale the bases if you print in 1/1200 or 1/1800 scale.
Also included a 1/1800 scale pre-supported model which I used for the test-prints on my Anycubic Mono SE (0.05mm layer) using standard resin. Use at your own risk, might be best you create your own supported files, which prints best on you own printer. Some parts are rather delicate, mainly the gun barrels, and you will need to remove support carefully.
The base was printed on an Ender 5 pro (0.16 mm layer) standard PLA.

Dutch early war models for 15mm / 1:100 scale war-gaming.
Allied Naval Landing Craft waterline models for 15mm / 1:100 scale war-gaming.
Starting 2023 WW2 ships in 1/1000 up to 1/1800 will be added. This will be focussed on the Pacific War / Dutch East Indies. Resin print only, highly detailed and as historical correct as possible. I might tweak a bit to make sure parts will print and are strong enough for the gaming table. This will include a full range of ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
And slowly adding other models which are not found anywhere else.
