Another in my series of WWII battleships and other warships (check out the other models in my designs: Bismarck, Duke of York, California, Yorktown, St. Louis, Kongo, Arleigh Burke, Type 45, etc.) and this is courtesy of the nice design from PiotruchaWro along with gun, floatplane added from M-Miller-97 and MotherbrainJr,

The scale is right around 1:250 (about 42" long) and the deck and hull sections are done all in one if you want to split yourself (both 3mf and stl files) and also pre-split in a zip file so they can fit onto a 200x200 printer. The prop shafts have been hollowed out for easy RC work. My normal method is to print as much as possible on my Ender 3 Pro FDM printer and just the detail work and such on my Elegoo Saturn resin printer.

There will be a few details that will need to be added (anchors, railings, etc.), but those are fairly easily found. The added color pic will show placement of guns and such. You will need to count the number and print as many as are required to place in the appropriate spots.

Print tips - be sure to hollow the superstructure if printing it in resin, so it will keep the weight down. The prop shafts have all been pre-drilled out (may need to drill open if they close during printing) and the rudder just print in place and cut off to make it a working rudder. The turreted AA guns do not have barrels, so just glue in some cut wire.

If anyone gets working on this I hope you can post a make!

10/9/23 Edit: I missed a couple of files (AA Gun Tubs and rear catapults) and also see I had the wrong sized main gun directors - a new file is attached or enlarge the previous file to 122%.

Edit 3/7/24: I added barrels to the turreted AA guns, since frankly adding your own barrels would be a pain. Use file Lg AA guns B.
