Twin Set Marceau + Zerstörer Z31 are two plastic ship kits in one package, 1:400 scale. They are two forms of the same vessel, a German destroyer and its later French service.
Responsibility details are not available.
In one package there are two plastic ship kits, not one. And there is a difference it is good to know in advance: these are not two different vessels but two forms of the same ship. The Z31 is a German destroyer of 1942, the Marceau is the same ship after the war in French service. The manufacturer keeps both hulls separately under their own numbers as well; here you get them together. You can therefore build the same hull twice, under both flags and in two periods.
The Z31 was the lead unit of a subclass of German destroyers of the type 1936A (Mob). She was launched at Bremen on 15 May 1941 and entered service in 1942. She carried five guns of 15 cm caliber and eight torpedo tubes in two four-barrel blocks; the forward gun was later replaced by a twin turret. She operated in Norwegian waters and at the end of 1942 took part in the fighting in the Barents Sea. In May 1945 she was captured by the Allies and France received her as war reparations. In February 1946 she was renamed the Marceau, classified as an escort unit with the hull number D601, and served until 1958.
Decide which hull you will build in which period; both the equipment and the finish differ markedly between German and French service. Fill and sand the lengthwise seams of both hulls. In 1:400 scale photo-etched railings and rigging pay off the most, as plastic parts are necessarily coarse. Mask the dividing line of the waterline; do not spray it freehand.
The models are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
