Just a bear building What-If models. What else should a bear do?

New project to start, will requite a lot of 3D design and 3D printing. Gun-Frigatte, German Navy 2030. 180m 10.000+ ts. Lets start with the hull.

Step 44/140: This stage adds variety after weeks of hull work: a sixth Ju 87 Stuka, a key hull-to-flight-deck support mount, and a major AA gun upgrade with a brighter LED.

Step 43/140: Continue assembling the starboard-side hull extension. Screws are easier to install now because the opposite hull side has not yet been fitted.

Step 42/140: Installing the larger keel section greatly strengthens the hull, improving rigidity and stability. Easy assembly thanks to unobstructed screw access.

More replacement guns added, slowly progressing

Step 41/140: Starboard hull extension added. Model now measures 95 cm (≈190 m real scale), reaching about 75% of its final length and a major build milestone.

Had to replace some guns which were lot, but I had enough material in the spare part box. So this is a wild war refit.

Step 40/140: Starboard underwater hull extended with a new segment as the hull begins tapering again, forming the gradual transition toward the stern.

Step 39/140: A fifth Ju 87 is assembled with bombs and landing gear, while two hull brackets are added, likely supporting the future flight deck.

Some progess on the hunt class DE. As I feared some of the PE parts were so fragile that they broke. And some plastic parts got lost by the "carpet monster". Have to see how to replace them.

Mounting the Taurus to the Tornado.

Step 38/140: A keel section was added to strengthen hull stability. Due to different upper hull openings, the port and starboard structures are asymmetrical.

The Ukraine tornado needs some weapons, so lets 3D print some Taurus.

The nice thing of this model is: It has a lot of PE parts. The bad thinkg is: It has a lot of tiny PE parts which break quite fast....

Refueler added.

Step 37/140:The starboard hull was sealed with a glued internal cover, followed by installation and testing of the green navigation light.
