HMS Daring D32 - Model for small scale printing 3D print model

HMS Daring is a destroyer built by the Royal Navy. She is the lead ship of the Type 45 class and the most modern destroyer Britain currently has in service. The Type 45 is specialised on Anti-Missile and Anti-Aircraft, featuring a high amount of systems onboard. Six units were built on total: The Daring, Dauntless, Diamond, Dragon, Defender and Duncan. Construction of the Daring was begun in 2003, with her launch happening in 2006. She was taken into service in 2009 and is serving the Royal Navy since.

Since her commission she has taken part in several missions, yet no active combat. On her journeys she has already visited countries in asia like Japan, China and South Korea. During trials and active service it has been revelaed that the generators of the powerplant are lacking in power whilst being subjected to higher temperatures. Out of this reason, all six units will recieve a refit down the line. As of March of 2022 Daring is undergoing a refit, planning to install said new generators.

Note: This model is recommended to be used in the 1/4000 scale. The model itself isnt scaled, the scale table is down below.

1/4000: 3,8cm or 1.49in

1/3000: 5cm or 1.97in

1/2000: 7,6cm or 2.99in (not recommended)

For self calculation: The Daring is 152m or 500 feet long

The model is intended to be used with little supports as possible, yet some are recommended below the barrel on the gun. Handle the main mast carefully, otherwise the thin antenna pieces might break.
