1/700 HMAS Perth 1942 (NNT)
Faith:HMAS Perth, accompanied by the American cruiser Houston, was sunk in the Sunda Strait half an hour after midnight about four miles from St. Nicholas Point in Java as the two ships attempted to escape southwards from the battle area and into the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately they ran straight into a Japanese invasion fleet of destroyers and troop transports in Banteng Bay and after a long running battle during which all ammunition was expended, both ships were sunk by torpedoes.
Best kit I’ve build so far but only one strange misfit: the crane and the catapult can’t stay in one line. So the crane is positioned outwards
