I don't have a kit yet but have often contemplated a Nazi modern battlecruiser like the Kirov Class. What if they won? I'd build the Kirov with Bismark markings, perhaps one of the more colorful Tirpitz camo jobs. Yeah, I want to do this but 1st I have to aquire the kit.

I love What if's!

Oh, and as an Adversary, the US Congress wouldn't be such losers by prematurely retiring perfectly good ships.

I have the CGN9 Longbeach.... Imagine that in a Dazzle camo :thumbs_up_1:

I don't know where this came from (or where the other half is...) but I found it a random Google search for CSGN info.

An early CGN-9 design with Regulus amidships and....DAZZLE CAMO!! Enjoy :cool_2:

Thanks Cliffy! Found & ordered a Dragon Admiral Ushakov last night. Might be no more than a paint job but I'll have to wait till the kit's in my hands.

i must admit i love the z plan ship ideas , they were new and unique . America and england tend to stick to old and proven methods which is dull and boring . I admire germany for having balls to experiment with new designs and concepts

So, why not build one with a German 15" turret back aft in place of the aft gun and Oto 5" guns on hip mounts?
