Interesting Models
Found these interesting models while at a museum. Anybody have any clues as to what class of ships they might be? Personally I think they are just fantasy models, but I figured I'd get a second opinion and at least share some pics.
This first one is a Nazi German Battleship. Then I found this Soviet sub.

Yeah it is, the lighting in there was terrible. I'm just glad they turned out as well as they did.

Just wondering which class that Battleship should belong to...
6 triple barreled main turrets?!? That´s certainly a fictional model, if it´s German, even the Plan-H class, which was supposed to succeed the Bismarck class, had only 4 double barreled turrets... Anyway nice pictures. Cheers, Michael |

It looks like they just took a model of the Iowa class and added 3 extra turrets to it. It even has the Iowas' crane on the back (for the seaplane).

Yeah and the 5" mounts look pretty American as well.
