Lütjens - 1/250 Bundesmarine destroyer from Wilhelmshaven

[paulhelfrich]

This is my most recently completed paper ship, the 1/250 Wilhelmshaven model of the Bundesmarine destroyer Lütjens. The ship was built in the US and is a modified Charles F. Adams class.

Thanks! You are very kind. Well, that foremast was awesomely hard, a bit beyond me, frankly. But it got it together, finally. That's one of the main differences between the German and US versions of the ship, interestingly enough - the German-service foremast had a bit more to it.

Ahoy Paul
Hardy Well done on the Adams class Lutjens, you can,t beat those wilhelshaven kits, I am happy I had a bottle of aleens that day it looked like we both had a non life threatening accidident we both had very minor repairs. you done a very well job on her, Of all the ships at the model show yours and the Battleship California were the best. this spring I will turn two on my Wilhelshaven U.S.S. SAN FRANSISCO I need to finish up my Indianapolis.

Really nice. I am always awed @ the addition of water to the build, a art I have not mastered. But looks like you have it mastered well. Thanks for sharing this.
