Once you have approved your model, we’ll collect the final balance and she will be shipped in a robust shipping crate and insured for your protection. Note that prior to shipping, we take a series of photos of the model and send them to you for final review and approval – so you know exactly what your model will look like and allow for any necessary modifications. The normal procedure is a 50% deposit with the commissioning, with the balance due prior to shipping. The model build time is generally 16 weeks from receipt of the order and deposit.
Options include keel block mounting, waterline models, nameplates, ships seals and ribbons, and weathering paint schemes. Every model includes pedestals, mounted on a polished mahogany base board. Other parts are made from a variety of woods, putty, resin and metals. Each model is exquisitely crafted by our master model builders and comes fully assembled with a solid hull - hand carved from kiln-dried mahogany. Only when a customer tells us the size and/or scale desired do we build the model. Our battleship models are made-to-order, meaning that we do not stock any pre-made models. However, if you would like your model made in a size other than those sizes listed, please contact us with your request. We offer our Tegetthoff Class battleship Models in several size/scale offerings for easy ordering and selection. After the transfer to State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, Virbus Unitus was sunk by Italian frogmen, and Tegetthoff and Prinz Eugen were transferred to Italy and France, respectively.Īny service era or vessel configuration - We can build a model of them all - your pick.
The Tegetthoffs attempted to sortie through the Otranto Barrage with the support of lighter ships in 1918, but failed after Szent István was sunk. The first three ships, Viribus Unitis, Tegetthoff and Prinz Eugen were joined by their sister in 1915, when they bombarded the Italian installations at Ancona. The smaller size of the Fiume shipyards meant that Szent István was built three years after her sisters, with slightly different characteristics. Three of the four were laid down in Trieste, with Szent Istvan being built at Fiume, to incorporate both parts of the dual monarchy into the construction of the ships. Four ships were built, Viribus Unitis, Tegetthoff, Prinz Eugen and Szent István. The Tegetthoff-class (sometimes erroneously named the Viribus Unitis-class) was the sole class of dreadnought battleship built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy.
