This set includes parts to build 2 destroyers, and allows depiction of either early version or late-war Project Barbara configuration.\u003cbr\u003eThe Z class destroyer was constructed during Germanys rearmament prior to WWII. The comparatively large hull and high temperature\/high pressure boilers combined with efficient German workmanship for an imposing and effective ship. A large number of destroyers, designated Z1 to Z43, were deployed between 1935 and 1944. The early types (Z1-22) were relatively lightly armed with five 12.7cm guns, while the 1936A Type (Z23-30) and 1936A\u003cbr\u003eMobilization Type (Z31-34, Z37-39) featured heavier 15cm guns. As air power began to play a dominant role in naval warfare, plans were drawn up in 1944 under code-name Barbara to add air-defenses to the Z class destroyers. This was to comprise fourteen 37mm (6 coaxial, 2 single) and ten 20mm (3 coaxial, 1 quad) cannon as well as six 8.6cm RAG rocket launchers, with some variations between individual ships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit includes two 1\/700 scale assembly models of the German Z Class Destroyer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a renewal of an existing item (31905) which includes new parts allowing depiction of\u003cbr\u003ethe late version Project Barbara configuration of Z37-Z39 destroyers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit allows construction of either early or late version destroyers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage and instruction manual have been re-designed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut-out paper flag sheet included to reproduce ships flags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41870414905402,"sku":"75561","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/2666\/9882\/files\/37c2e58c958f96a0939b068849fd73bb.jpg?v=1793385015","url":"https:\/\/tedshobbyshop.com\/fr\/products\/tamiya-japanese-carrier-zuikaku-1-700-31214-copy","provider":"Passe-Temps Ted's Hobby Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
