Which of the several available 1/350 scale Trumpeter German WW2 destroyers would you recommend?
If you really want a Trumpeter kit then try their Z-43 . It is the only 1936b class kit available!
IMO The Trumpeter kits are not as detailed or accurate as the Dragon 1/350 kits of similar class but cost a bit less. For example, IIRC, prop shaft exit from hull on the Trumpeter kits is not staggered as it should be. Also, I believe all the Dragon kits come with a few 1/350 scale figures . Marcus is right, Class for class, I would go with Dragon/DML. The Dragon kits are highly recommended.
However, In case you have not already checked...
The DKM had several classes of DD's ( Zerstorers). 1934a, 1936, 1936a, 1936a MOB, 1936b. The 1/350 Zerstorers by Trumpeter and Dragon cover a good bit of the classes:
Trumpeter offers:
Z-25 (1936a w/5.9"twin mount forward
Z-30 (1936a 4-5.9" single mounts)
Z-43 (1936b 5-5" single mounts)
Dragon offers:
Z-26 (1936a 4-5.9" single mounts)
Z-31 (1936a MOB 4-5.9" single mounts
Z-32 (1936a MOB 1-5.9"twin mount, 3 singles aft)
Z-38 (1936a MOB 1-5.9" twin mount, 3 singles aft)
Z-39 (1936a MOB) 1-5.9" twin and 2 single mounts).
Also
Zvezda Z-17 Dieter von Roeder Type 1936
IronShipwright made a 1/350 Type 1934A and Type 1936A
If you want a 1936 class Zvezda is the only option.
If you want a 1934a class then look for an IronShipWright kit .
(Trumpeter does make a Z-7 1934a kit in 1/700.)
Take a look at the link below for a list of kits and Postings of builds/reviews to get a better idea of the kits.
