A few questions about the design of hull on the "Admiral Hip
Hi all. I have some questions about the design of hull on the "Admiral Hipper"- class heavy cruisers. 1. Maybe you have information on the restructuring of bulge after the launching of the cruisers? If you look at photos of the launching (see photo of "Blucher" launch) we can see...

Re: Armor of the Admiral Hipper class cruisers
Unterlagen zur Bestimmung der Hauptkampfentfernung did not mention other belt thicknes then 80mm. Hi, Thorsten and all... I looked up "Unterlagen zur Bestimmung ..." There is one question: could the German gunners did not take into account the small areas of armor with a thickness that is...

Yes of course ...Herr Nilsson wrote:No, the upper edges of the 80 mm internal and external belt have the same alignment.

Re: Armor of the Admiral Hipper class cruisers
It's "homebrew" scheme of the armor belts "Hipper"-class cruisers.

Re: Armor of the Admiral Hipper class cruisers
Hi all, Now to ship models....this feature IS depicted on the hull of the Tamiya 1/700 Prinz Eugen...but is missing from the Trumpeter 1/700 Hipper and the Airfix 1/600 Prinz. It's not absolutely perfect, but congratulations to Tamiya for recognizing and depicting that detail! As for me ... :D This...

Re: Armor of the Admiral Hipper class cruisers
Hello everybody, What seems to me is that your signalled initial plate ( the one you circled in red ) starts after the belt internally ( the one Thorsten correctly outlined ) is over.
