Çektirme: Traditional Turkish Boat

Posted on 10 September 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Outdoor, Products, Ships, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Leave a comment

Çektirme is the kind of boat that effortlessly steals the spotlight. Long, sleek, and designed for both speed and style, it has graced the waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean for centuries. This Turkish sailboat, once a staple of Ottoman maritime life, is more than just a vessel—it’s a symbol of seafaring elegance and craftsmanship.

Typically spanning between 15 to 30 meters in length, the çektirme was built with speed in mind. Its narrow hull, usually around 4 to 5 meters wide, allowed it to slice through the water with minimal resistance, making it perfect for the breezy, calm waters of the Mediterranean. What really set the çektirme apart, though, was its lateen sail configuration—those iconic triangular sails mounted on tall, elegant masts. This sail setup wasn’t just for show. Lateen sails allowed the boat to tack against the wind efficiently, giving it a leg up when maneuvering through the often gusty Aegean Sea.

HMS Majestic Battleship 1m Model

Posted on 27 June 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Products, Ships, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The HMS Majestic class battleships epitomize naval prowess and technological mastery of their era. Built during a time of intense global competition, these majestic vessels represented the pinnacle of naval engineering, designed to dominate the seas with their formidable presence.

The HMS Majestic class battleships had two other classes that were very similar in design:

Canopus Class: These ships were slightly smaller and faster, designed to navigate the Suez Canal more easily. They had a similar armament layout but with thinner armor to save weight.
Formidable Class: These were almost identical to the Majestic class but featured slightly improved armor and armament. They were essentially an incremental improvement over the Majestic class.

These classes shared many design characteristics and operational roles, reflecting the evolutionary approach to battleship design in the pre-dreadnought era.

British K-class submarines

Posted on 30 April 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Products, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

They were a series of steam-propelled submarines built for the Royal Navy during World War I. However, they were notorious for being plagued with design flaws and accidents.

These submarines were much larger than their predecessors, with the intention of carrying a significant number of torpedoes and having longer endurance. However, they were beset with issues such as instability, poor handling characteristics, and mechanical failures. The most infamous incident involving the K-class submarines was the Battle of May Island in 1918, where a collision during a night exercise led to the loss of two submarines and 104 crew members.

Later higher bow is also included, it is glued on to the standard bow.

Sultanhisar was a torpedo boat of the Ottoman Navy. She was built in 1907 by Schneider & Cie in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, and transferred the same year to Turkey (more info on Schneider 38m class torpedo boats). She is best known for her action during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I as she sank Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS AE2 in the Sea of Marmara and captured her crew.

As of 16 October 1912, Sulthanisar was assigned to the Bosporus Fleet Command. From 19 December 1912 on, she served at the Armoured Warship Division.

During the naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, the torpedo boat Sultanhisar was tasked with patrolling in the Dardanelles Strait. In addition, she daily transported German general Otto Liman von Sanders, who was the adviser and military commander of the Ottoman Army, between Eceabat and Gallipoli. On 29 April 1915, she received orders to return to Constantinople by sailing along the west coast of the Sea of Marmara. On the way, Commander Ali Rıza Bey changed his route and sailed eastwards in response to reports of the presence of a possible enemy submarine in that area.

The Epic Sea Battle of AE-2 Submarine and Sultanhisar Torpedo Boat

Posted on 13 April 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, General, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

In the annals of naval history, there are battles that stand out not just for their strategic significance but also for the sheer audacity and courage displayed by the sailors involved. One such remarkable encounter took place during World War I in the waters of the Marmara Sea, where the Australian submarine AE-2 faced off against the formidable Sultanhisar torpedo boat, creating a saga of bravery and maritime prowess.

The stage was set in April 1915, a time when the Great War was raging across Europe and its theaters extending into the Mediterranean. The Ottoman Empire, a key player in the conflict, controlled vital sea routes in the eastern Mediterranean, posing a threat to Allied shipping and military operations. The Allies, including Australia, were keen to establish naval dominance in these waters.
