Based on GWX3 ship (original model by Gerome73), 3d updated using SHV parts and a lot of details (portholes, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning rangefinders...).
JU87 Stuka planes by Fifi (reworked by JU_88 and used in GWX 3.0)

Nice! A very technically interesting ship - although fortunately for the Allies she wasn't completed. And that Ju-87 model is so much nicer than the original SH3 one. :salute:

Thanks mate!! I agree with you, really interesting. I have always had a particular curiosity for this ship and for the Aquila of the italian Regia Marina. They're somehow connected, in my head.
