Interesting Models

[ETR3(SS)]

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. :D

This first one is a Nazi German Battleship.

Then I found this Soviet sub.

Cool stuff, shame the glass distorted the pics. :up:

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...:hmmm:

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,

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.
