Fletcher-class destroyer USS Leutze (DD-481)

I want to present a revised model of the destroyer of MODELIK.

Unfortunately the original color of the model was not correct. Although it was well designed - in my opinion, better than Halinski.

So, I used Photoshop and color catalog of U.S. warships. Smoothedprint quality, color corrected.

Soon I want to repeat this postoroyku destroyer - but in a moreaccurate version.

Here are the differences in color - the original and the corrected image.

Admiral Graf Spee

Paper waterline model ship in 1:200 scale from GPM.
Author -- Igor Cherniak

Model in exhibition of CORAL Museum.

The Admiral Graf Spee was one of the most famous German naval warships of World War II, along with the Bismarck. Her size was limited to that of a cruiser by the Treaty of Versailles, however she was as heavily armed as a battleship due to innovative weight-saving techniques employed in her construction.
She was sent to the Atlantic Ocean as a commerce raider in 1939, where she sank nine Allied merchant ships. Numerous British hunting groups were assigned to find her, with three British ships finally tracking her down in December 1939. The Battle of the River Plate ensued, during which the Graf Spee was damaged. She docked for repairs in the neutral port of Montevideo, but was forced by international law to leave within 72 hours. Faced with what he believed to be overwhelming odds, the captain scuttled his ship rather than risk the lives of his crew.
