German kriegsmarine ships in 1:144

[Baron Vaderham]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of kits in scale 1/144 of German navy vessels? I’m looking for a destroyer, supply ship, support vessel, of some sort to create a diorama of a u-boot being supplied. 
All I can find is u-boots. 
thanks

Good evening Baron,

 

I searched for full kit, 1/144, german and ships on scalemates.com, I got 35 hits, but only two seem even slightly relevant:

Might be that setting this in a dock loading scene or otherwise using another nation's vessels (try above search without using germany) is needed?

Yeah I found those too. 
i also found that the Fletcher class destroyer once upon a time was also used by the Germans (after the war), but that doesn’t help me now. Maybe I have to revise my plans and go for a different diorama. Maybe a dock scene, or a stormy sea setting.

Germany captured four incomplete French-built Flower Class Corvettes and three of those saw limited service. You could use the Revell 1/144 kit but it would need quite a bit of modifying as they had short foc'sles, different weapons fit and other changes.
