sebko Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi! I'm new in this business, but one person inspired me so much and I decided to try myself with building plastic models. Because I'm from Poland I choose a polish destroyer called Wichura. Hopefully I will receive many good advice as I really don't know what and how to do those things Thanks in advance 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It will be good to see how both the model and you progress on this. It is a fine looking ship. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Wicher (gale) and Burza (storm) were two first destroyers (2010-ton each) of the Polish Navy. They were built in France in 1928-30 as "a bit modified" Bourrasque-class vessels of French Navy. Wicher was sunk by the Luftwaffe bombers in September 1939 while in Hel harbour. Burza survived the war after long and eventful service in Polish Navy along the RN all over the North Sea and Atlantic. However they weren't the only two Bourrasque-class destroyers used by Polish Navy, as in 1940-41 the Poles used (as the loan from Royal Navy) also another one - the Ouragan (hurricane), taken over by the British after the fall of France.
