Things have been quiet in the Shipyard as of late, so it seems like a good time to restart things – I have a
few more after this one to post...
I have not posted in the Shipyard for so long (over a year)... having a lovely wife and a young child changes
your priorities (as does other things...like earning enough money for things like food, petrol and...naval
miniatures)...
Anyway...Here is another of the Kriegsmarine's Z – Plan “Never – Were” ships...
These ships were designed as convoy raiders, not battleships...They appear to have been very under
armoured...
The usual disclaimers apply - these are always works in progress....
