WoWs early french destroyers

A prop of the first two french destroyers, as they appear in World of Warships.

THESE ARE NOT DRIVEABLE VEHICLES, AND I WILL NEVER MAKE THEM DRIVEABLE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT BOTHER ASKING.

Fully rigged, use a model tool to tamper with moving parts.

Includes:
FS Enseigne Gabolde (1927) (normal, skybox)
Torpilleur M1920 (1920 as designed) (normal, skybox)

Historical Notes:

Enseigne Gabolde was the third and final ship in the Enseigne Roux class. Laid down before WW1, it was completed afterwards with some modifications, including a third gun and larger caliber torpedoes. She operated until 1939, when she was finally condemned and scrapped.

Armament consisted of 3x1 100mm M1917 guns, 1x1 75mm M1915 AA gun and 2x2 550mm torpedo tubes.

WG didn't model the AA gun though, so it's missing from this model.

The Torpilleur M1920 was a project for a new type of destroyer after WW1. It was to carry four 100mm guns and double or triple 550mm torpedo tubes. In the end it was determined that 100mm was too small a caliber compared to foreign navies, so the ship was redesigned with 130mm guns, leading to the Bourrasque class.

This model is both a representation of the original design and a hypothetical refit. It is equipped with 4x1 100mm/45 M1917 guns, 2x2 550mm torpedo tubes that can be swapped out for triple ones and a searchlight that can be swapped out for a single 75mm/50 M1922 AA gun or a 37mm/54 M1925 AA gun.

Please report any bugs you find.
