Just completed this model - I have been working on it off and on for nearly three years. It's the modern Germany navy destroyer L�tjens.

L�tjens (named for Admiral Gunther L�tjens, commander of Operation Rhein�bung on board the Bismarck) was one of three modified Charles F. Adams class destroyers built in the US for the Bundesmarine in the 1960s. She was in commission from 1969 to 2003.

The model is the 1/250 paper model from Wilhelmshaven. Everything on the model is paper except for some styrene and brass rod in the masts, some metal screen for the radars, and stretched sprue for the whip antennas and rigging.
