New 1/1200 Sub Cruisers and Destroyer Leader

[ptdockyard]

Here is a photo of three new "What ifs" I now produce in 1/1200 scale!


Top:Italian Coloniale Submarine cruiser 1929

A steam powered design with two twin 6″ guns in turrets. She would have four bow tubes and four tubes midships firing aft. Design history (in Italian) can be found here:

Middle:US Destroyer Leader 1928 Scheme 7

Friedman's Destroyer Design history discusses this concept briefly but no drawing has emerged. This is my  take on US 1928 Destroyer leader design, Scheme 7. She is 2900 tons, four-6″, four 5″/25 and 12 TT and over 400′ long. At 36kts, she would have been a close competitor of the Le Fantasque class and the Yubari.

Bottom:US 1919 Sub Cruiser (with 2-6″ , 1-3″)

Sub cruiser design that eventually evolved into the Narwal. She has two-6″ guns and a 3″23 AA. She is in a What If camo scheme as well.
