ORP Ślązak (ex German A59) by RGL - FINISHED - Mirage Hobby - 1/350 - PLASTIC - Polish Torpedo boat

I'm surprised that Captain Muller allowed that rust bucket to even get close to his magnificent cruiser! :D

 

Great upgrade to a very needy kit. One would never guess it's humble beginnings.

 If there was a decent upgrade set for the pre dreadnoughts I’d be all over it. 

Heller only produced most of their ships at the scale of 1/400, which of course, was done long before 1/350 was adopted as the preferred scale for war ships.

 

Now, HobbyBoss/Trumpeter has these two French Dreadnoughts:

They also have Danton, but just the name of that individual is repulsing (he was instrumental in getting thousands of people be-headed after the Revolution).

 

Another interesting vessel is the Submarine Surcouf, equipped with a massive gun and a plane:

More modern, you have the large Cruiser/Battleship Strasboug and Dunkerque. Not much choice in 1/350, unfortunately.

Nice work, as usual, Greg. Nicely done.

 

Hmm, Voltaire looks intriguing.
