The Java class were a pair of light cruisers built for the Royal Netherlands Navy built between 1916-1926. The Class were considered obsolete when commissioned.
The class were still on active duty at the outbreak of WW2 predominately on colonial duties.
Java herself was sunk during the Battle of the Java Sea in February 1942. Sumatra was considered unfit for combat duty due to problems with her propulsion and was scuttled as part of a "gooseberry" pier to protect a Mulberry Harbour as part of operation Overlord - the Allied invasion of Normandy
The model is designed in 1/1800 scale but prints at 1/2400 perfectly.
We have tested a few of our designs at two additional scales: 1/3000 and 1/1200 which have all turned out really well. At 1/3000 scale though some components are very small and require additional patience when assembling.
