Yes, I concur. Looks great KIKE!

As for your dreadnought, it's looking good. You're on the right track. Just look for inspiration in other ships and you'll get it figured out. :)

That looks good Kike92,

Though there are a couple of things that might help it, your main belt needs to extend a bit each way to cover the magazines of A and Y turrets, You have the US directors for your main armament which is fine, then you have the UK main director (which is not a Dual purpose director) to run your 5" secondaries, if you have a look at the RNRadarSheet there is a complete row of Directors, you want the HACS type or even the Mk V which I like the look of (you really need four, 2 where you have the UK mains and another pair either side of the bridge at the same level as the forward director). Lastly your AA armament is quite weak for a 1941 rebuild, all I can see is single and/or twin 20mm guns. At that time you would be fitting 40mm (twins/quads) or 2pd (octuple/quad). You have an area just aft of the funnel where you could fit a heavy AA battery.

I do not comment very often so you can be sure I like your ship and want to help you make the most of it.

Keep up the good work,
Nigel

Hi Krakatoa, really appreciate the advice and im already working on a revised drawing and im also working on the rebuilt version of the Táchira class battleships, but one thing i have to point out is that the directors are not british or american they are venezuelan, if you compare them with the ones on the part sheets will see they are different.

Thanks for the advice,
Luis

Hello everyone, this is part of a new set of aircraft im working on now.

CAV - C-13A Pantera (Panther)

[ img ]

The C-13 Pantera represents the final development in the C-10 Tigre family it was designed using the technology and the knowledge acquired from the C-12 program, to complement the larger aircraft and replace the C-10A.

Coming up next are the C-14 fleet defence fighter and the C-15 air superiority fighter.
