There is a snag to your "as completed" drawings. Have a look at these pictures. Their funnels were raised 5ft in their 1934-36 refits.

Sorry about the length of the links.
Enterprise twin 6in turret had 40 deg elevation and was the prototype for the 60 deg turrets on Nelson and Rodney. A developed (IIRC lighter, thinner armour) version was fitted in Leander etc.

There is the joy of using Russki drawings to base these designs on. Not all the bits are quite right. I will amend the funnel heights to reflect better their as built status.

I had always thought it was the other way round, the turret on Enterprise being a lower elevation version of NelRod's ones that morphed into the Leanders and others (with a slightly different shape).

Instead of just replacing the original drawings with ones with short funnels on page 1 (easy to do with Dropbox), I have put the revised funnel drawings here. They do make quite a contrast with the short funnels.






Thanks for your help Smurf.

Very nice work!

Wow!

Enterprise in its 1943 refit guise.

I would like to have been able to produce it in its camouflage style as well, but I have been unable to find decent side views to show the camouflage layout. Maybe Kim can assist with that some time in the future.




As always I am happy to answer all queries / criticisms that may arise.
