Hi Guys,

Are there any 1/350th scale kits of the above or can be built into the above. I have no experience with Ships really, mainly build armour and planes.

cheers

It’s a Type 1934a Destroyer.

 

I ran a quick search for a model kit of a Type 1934a Destroyer on Google and several kits turned up.

 

You should be able to alter the markings to match the Z13.

Thanks Grandpa Phil, I was hoping to find plastic injection and not resin if possible.

The only 1:350 scale kit that comes close to the Destroyer Type 1934a is the one from Zvezda/Revell, and that's a Type 1936. This means a lot of modifications, especially to the superstructure. It's possible, but involves a lot of research and work.

Thank you for that information, not sure if I can do that, I currently only have two 1/350th scale ships, both Royal Navy, so not like i have a trove of spare parts to help with that.

Attached is a link to a lengthy but successful conversion to the destroyer Z14 Friedrich Ihn, following some early wartime modifications.
