I have virtually all the plastic 1:1250 Wiking WW2 warships, except for the super-rare USS Augusta heavy cruisers, of which I want 2. Of course, I use fairly heavy cardstock paper. I've dropped my paper models on the floor without any damage whatsoever. The Kongo class were definitely NOT flush deck as it is there, which is why I have been deterred until now from tackling it.īut Kongo is a MUST class for 1:1200/1250, already in metal, of course, but that doesn't ship or carry easily. That other Japanese website is intriguing - beautiful coloration! - but parts are left out of the models shown. I have those downloads for Chokai and Oyodo, unassembled. The cylindrical supports in it leaned forward, giving it its distinctive look. I'm going to have to re-do the tall pagoda forward superstructure. See all of them on my CoatneyHistory webpage. Good drawings of Dunkerque and Strasbourg in that. I have ALL the ONI recognition manuals, including the never-completed (thanks to the November 1942 scuttling) one of the French fleet. I'm using the Office of Naval Intelligence deck and side views. The prototype is slightly larger than 1:1000, so it should be good at the smaller scale too.
