Hr.Ms.Van Kinsbergen
$7.00
Hr.Ms. Van Kinsbergen was a Royal Netherlands Navy Gunnery training vessel including anti-sub marine capabilities for escort operations. She served in the Caribbean during WW2. Possible one of the most interesting things is that the Van Kinsbergen demonstrated the stabilized 40 mm Bofors AA-guns to US Navy specialists and naval authorities in 1940. Resulting in the large scale production of this system by the Americans.
After WW2 the Swedish Bofors company was financially compensated for the use of their patents.
She survived WW2, and served in the Netherlands Navy until she was scrapped in 1974.

1/1200 – resize to 83,5%
There are a few different bases provided. And each base comes in 2 versions. Text recessed and the raised. I used the recessed version for FDM printed bases. Finally a base without 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.
