Admiralen-class Destroyer
Description
Model depicted: 3D prints from Maurizio's 3D Models
Scale: 1:1800
Ships in class: 8
These ships were built in the Netherlands with assistance from the British company Yarrow (at that time the leading builder of destroyers in the world). The Dutch ships were based on the British destroyer HMS Ambuscade. The guns were bought from the Swedish company Bofors. A novel feature was the provision of a seaplane for scouting. There was however no catapult, the plane being lowered into the sea by a crane.
