S30 series german torpedo boat

This was a slightly smaller version of the well-known wwii s-boat. They were originally built for china, but impressed into Kriegsmarine service during wwii. They served mostly in the Mediterranean. Armament initially consisted of a single 20mm gun near the stern – this was soon increased by adding a distinctive non-retractible 20mm bow gun. Late in the war the stern gun was replaced with a 37mm weapon. I have included models of the 20mm weapons for bow and stern.
