Yesterday arrived some models.
The first one I built was the Schwerer Gustav-Railwaygun. The cannon had a caliber of 80 cm and was thus the largest caliber actually used in ww2.

Hello Sub,
What do you think about my design of the Japanese DD Shimakaze? I’m planning to add her to my collection soon.
My want to complete the entire lineage of 'Special-Type' DDs in the future. From Fubuki to Tachibana.
Which ship of this long lineage is your favorite? I’m still deciding which one to tackle next after the Shima – maybe the Akizuki or the classic Kagero?
Let me know what you think of the details!"
Its time to add some japanese destroyers to my collection.
First one: The Shimakaze
She was experimental destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II and the only ship of her class ever completed. Designed as the lead ship of a new „Type C“ destroyer series, she was built to be faster and more powerfully armed than any other destroyer of her time. Laid down in 1941 and commissioned in May 1943, Shimakaze became legendary for her extreme performance. She reached an incredible 40.9 knots during trials — making her one of the fastest destroyers in the world. Her massive powerplant delivered over 79,000 shaft horsepower, and she was the only destroyer in naval history armed with 15 torpedo tubes (three quintuple launchers), all capable of firing the feared Type 93 „Long Lance“ torpedoes. This combination of unmatched speed and overwhelming torpedo firepower made her a nightmare on paper for any enemy fleet.
Although her combat career was relatively short, she participated in important operations in the Philippines. On 11 November 1944, she was sunk by American carrier aircraft during the Battle of Ormoc Bay.

Today I was a bit bored, so I used the free time to design a new model: an Arado Ar 196, the standard reconnaissance aircraft of the Kriegsmarine. It went quickly and easily; nonetheless, it includes some interesting building techniques.
