Warning, rant ahead.

Let another example of "if it's German, lets make it." I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the Kriegsmarine, and their plans, and I'd never heard of this planned conversion, yet a model is being planned of it? If they must make German items how about some of their light cruisers that haven't been done yet?

Ok, rant over.

Actually, between HP and Samek, I believe all the German Light Cruisers from WW2 (and some from WW1) are available in resin (same medium as this release).

HP has released other "never-builts", all German, I believe. Not surprising, since they are a German company.
