British Post-WW2 Waterline Destroyers and Frigates

thingiverse

Looking around for wargame-scale models of modern surface warships, I got sidetracked into post-WW2 British destroyers (and frigates). Some models are converted from my own virtual reality files, some newly created; level of detail varies, but they have been “bulked up” to print at 1:1200 or (reduced to 50%) at 1:2400. Some detail will be lost at smaller scales, and they should be hollowed at larger ratios (1:1000 to 1:700). HMS Daring - Final new-build British “gun and torpedo” destroyer. Only anti-submarine weapon was single Squid. HMS Lynx - Slow diesel anti-aircraft frigate with powerful radar, two dual destroyer-style turrets and single Squid. (Type 41) HMS Torquay - Faster steam anti-submarine frigate with one 4.5in turret and double Limbo. (Type 12) HMS Devonshire - Large missile destroyer with Seaslug and Seacat missiles plus two 4.5in turrets and facilities for large helicopter. HMS Ashanti - Multi-purpose frigate (or sloop) with two single 4.5in guns, single Limbo, Seacat, towed sonar*, and facilities for small helicopter. (Type 81) HMS Leander - General purpose frigate with one twin 4.5in, single Limbo, Seacat, towed sonar*, and facilities for medium helicopter. (Some members of this class were extensively modified to carry Ikara or Exocet.) HMS Amazon - Commercial-design frigate with Exocet missiles, single automatic 4.5in, Seacat, and light helicopter. (Type 21) HMS Sheffield - Missile destroyer with Sea Dart, automatic 4.5in, and helicopter. (Type 42) HMS Glasgow - later first-batch Sheffield class. *Not all members of this class had towed sonar.
