Hunter Q-Ship Wooden Model Ship Kit – Amati 1:60
$132.99 by Bookoo Fan in A secret location, 6 days ago
The Hunter was initially part of the British merchant navy. Then the Royal Navy took it over for its sailing qualities especially fit for the North Seas and transformed it into a Q-ship, when war broke out. As with all other Q-ships, it underwent changes at the dockyard of Queenstown, Ireland (that’s why they were called Q-ship). It was equipped with false structures that concealed its deck weaponry. This structure could be easily removed and the hidden deck guns could be used to fire against the enemy, especially submarines.
