I was experimenting with the color sheet from the Richelieu. I'm not sure about the darker shading either.

I'm guessing you're also going to do an updated Richelieu and possibly the Dunkerques as well? |

Yup
Awesome...can't wait for this! The WWII French Navy's approaching IJN-level attention on the board at this rate! While the IJN will always be my #1 favorite, the French built some beautiful ships, and I'm glad to see them get their Shipbucket dues.
That's the plan |

Okay here is Jean Bart as she appeared 19 June 1940. ![[ img ]](http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Latouche/Ships/JeanBart/JeanBart19June1940/jean_bart_as_leaving_france_2.png) I am having some problems reconciling the differences in the level of completeness of the towers between the photos and the various reference drawings. Colombamike, the photos show towers--especially the bridge tower--much more complete than your reference drawing.  Also which areas should be colored in primer red and which in yellow?
