1/1800th scale L class destroyer model. Certain elements not to scale.
The L and M-class destroyers were Royal Navy destroyers built between 1938–1942, with 16 ships completed across the two subclasses and 9 lost during World War II. Their armament varied because the class was part of Britain’s move toward stronger anti-aircraft capability: some ships carried three twin 4.7-inch dual-purpose gun mounts, while others carried four twin 4-inch dual-purpose mounts; they also carried a quadruple 2-pounder “pom-pom,” machine guns, two quadruple 533 mm torpedo tube mounts, and depth charges. Many later wartime refits replaced torpedo tubes with additional anti-aircraft weapons and upgraded radar equipment as air threats became more important.
This model is designed and tested at 1/1800th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/1800th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The gun barrels and mast have been enlarged.
This is part of my collection of WWII warships, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.
Tested with PLA at .1mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
