An incredible job on that pagoda tower, it could be too easy to over detail it, but you've done a great job in making it look splendid without making it look too 'fussy'. Great work and great skill.

Gah, I work too much so gems like these gets totally unnoticed untill weekends.
And "gem" migth not be proper word since these are propably best things I've seen in SB. Certainly par with the exelent Admiral Hippers of the other axis navy featured recently.

-Hightening and widening of the anti-torpedo bulges.
-Fitting of new ventilation cowls on the sides of n°2 and N°5 main gun barbettes.
-Replacement of the 6m main gun rangefinder on top of the pagoda with an 8m one.
-Small modifications to some of the pagoda platforms and RDF equipment.
-Replacement of the earlier 2.8 and 3.5m rangefinders fitted above the conning tower and on the aft superstructure with newer models.
-Lowering of the fore searchlight platform abreast the funnel to improve aircraft-handling operations.
-Replacement of the forward starboard pipe outlet on the funnel.
-Improvement of the director setup on top of the aft superstructure.
-Changes to the boat stowing fit.
