This is the twentythird of a serie of units for Kriegsmarine, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Pack include a multiskin unit based on Graf Zeppelin fleet aircraft carrier (grey base, baltic, atlantic and Fjords camo).

https://i.ibb.co/Q8kqgNg/thumbnail-VD-Zeppelin-Recap.jpg

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.

fantastic! now all we need are six or seven of those "Plan Z" napkin drawing battleships from World of Warships and we can really get this war turned around :Kaleun_Wink:

jokes aside thanks for all the hard work.
