Actually the best stand in for de Ruyter (and base for future real model) would be a GWX German Pocket Battleship. Resize it and equip it with 15 cm guns and you have de Ruyter
Sumatra and Java looked very similar to Emden III (the 1924 one), but in reality they were a bit larger and older than Emden III, but of course strongly influnced by german WW1 cruisers.
I always thought de Ruyter looked like "Graf Spee's little brother"
For Tromp and Heemskerck, the best base would be a Porter class destroyer, as those two were really flotilla leaders.
The Admiralen destroyers look a lot like british A-I class destroyers, but are of course larger.

That's a lot of useful information, I actually forgot about the Tromp and Jacob van Heemskerk, I figured those were captured by the germans in 1940. Guess I'm wrong. I'd do it If I actually had SHIII available to me (SHIV is my entry into the series, I'll be sure to look around for it). For now I'll contend with what I have available for placeholders and then we'll see. I mostly did this to get familiar with SHIV's filestucture and options.

Thanks for the info!
