FreekS Posted December 23, 2013 #34 Posted December 23, 2013 It looks really nice, I'm sooooo tempted but I have yet to find time to build your Admiralen class model! Unbelievable detail! Brilliant! Freek PacificCrossRoads 1

FreekS Posted December 24, 2013 #36 Posted December 24, 2013 In 1937, she did convoy duty in the straits of Gibraltar . general Franco had during the Spanish civil war issued a blockade of communist harbours and threatened to board ships in the straits of Gibraltar. The Spanish navy was divided into two, Francos Royalist forces and Communist ships which embarking Russion officers. O-16 was lying in Lisbon after her return from the US and was ordered to immediately disembark Professor Veening Meinensz, who had performed gravity measurements on board, and join up with hr ms Hertog Hendrik and perform war patrols in the Straits of Gibraltar with war Torpedo's loaded in the tubes and the boat ready for action. this support action for the pantserdekschip Hertog Hendrik was crucial, as the Royalist fleet comprised three 15 and 20 cm gun cruisers superior to the Hertog Hendrik. after two weeks patrolling she is relieved by Hr ms Java, hr ms O-13 and hr ms O-15 and heads for home. A nice example of deterrent by Dutch submarines. (de Nederlandse Onderzeedients 1906 to 1966) Freek PacificCrossRoads, Piet and WackoWolf 3

FreekS Posted March 1, 2014 #46 Posted March 1, 2014 It looks like a simple model, that O-16 . but I'm sure that's deceptive! Every time I look in the box of the Admiralen klasse destroyer I think "wow that look like lots of small and complex parts" and then I reckon it's easier to build a working sub like the O-1! But I'm sure I will get to building those beautifull dutch models ! Freek PacificCrossRoads 1
