Construit de janvier à mai 2006 voici mon "Panzerschiff-Study 5".
L'étude d'origine remonte aux années 80.
SpringSharp m'a permis de le mettre en "équation" et d'ajuster ses caractéristiques.
Il s'agit d'un Panzerschiff avec une artillerie secondaire particulièrement puissante (4T2x203) et d'une disposition original.
