This is the 2nd in a series of World War II-style Battleships and Cruisers of various sizes and capabilities.
Meet the Dragonera, one of the 6 ships in the Balearic Class of Heavy Cruisers. Main armament consists of 4 turrets of 4ea 205mm auto-loading cannons, total of 16 guns. Rate of Fire is 6 rounds per minute, per gun, allowing an enormous amount of firepower to be trained onto a single target. This ship was designed to hunt down and kill destroyers and to support amphibious landings.
Top speed is over 35 knots, rumors are that the Balearic Class can cruise over 40 knots, but this has not been confirmed. The Balearic Class also uses both radar and optical gun control.
- 16ea 205mm/55cal auto-loader Main Armament. Range 13 miles
- 3ea 125mm Secondary Armament (in a single turret)
- 8ea 125mm Dual Purpose AA FLAK-style guns
- 70ea 40mm License Built Bofors Style AA guns
- 22ea 20mm License Built Oerlikon Style AA Guns, Permanently Mounted to deck
- 8ea Deck mounted torpedo tubes
All the parts on the Dragonera were built by me, ryksuga, with the exception to the Props, which came from Sketchy@Best’s “Simple Ship Propellers.” That’s not to say I did not deconstruct some models to figure out how they did certain things :-), but I did make everything (except the props) myself. If you use any parts, all I ask for is credit
Another big, highly detailed model, enjoy.
