FGS Baden-Wurttemberg - Model for small scale printing 3D print model

The Baden-Württemberg class is a class of frigates built for the German Navy. Overall four units were built: Baden-Württemberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Sachsen-Anhalt and Rheinland-Pfalz. This class is the newest and biggest class currently in service within the Deutsche Marine and was commissioned from 2019 to 2022, 8 years later than intended. The delivery of all units was delayed greatly since all ships faced several flaws out of the dockyard. A permanent list to starboard, problems with the main gearbox, lacking fire protection of cables and a too small helicopter hangar led the Navy to the decision not to accept the units right away and return them to the dockyard again- for the first time in German history so far.

Overall the class is designed for survelliance of mission areas, the deployment for special forces and shelling of land based targets. The main feature of other frigates is lacking here, all ships dont feature a VLS. Overall this class relies heavily on other frigates in fleet to carry out offensive strikes, since they only feature defensive weaponry. The lack of offensive armament was heavily discussed, especially since the ships have been the biggest frigates ever entering German service. Clocking in at 7.200 tons of displacement, these ships are the biggest frigates in the world, as of February 2023. The standard Harpoon and RAM launchers as well as a 127mm cannon are the biggest systems which are common among most frigates.

So far no unit has seen a big mission, since most were put into service during the pandemic.

Note: This model is recommended to be used in the 1/2000 scale. The models itself isnt scaled, the scale table is down below.

1/4000: 3,75cm or 1.47in

1/3000: 5cm or 1.96in

1/2000: 7,5cm or 2.95in

1/1000: 15cm or 5.9in

For self calculation: The Baden-Württemberg is roughly 150m or 490ft long.

The model is intended to be used with little supports as possible, yet some are recommended below the barrel of the main and secondary guns. I recommend using a resin printer for this. Up and Downsclaling might be possible, yet I dont know to what extend.
