Thanks for the photoscan from Friedmans Novice,

Unfortunately it is of one of the 'D's with the hangar below the bridge with the fly off ramp over the 'B' six inch. It is also 'as built' with the 2x3" AA.

I have taken a couple of features from that scan that seem to be generic to the 'D's and added them to the drawing. 6" changed to CPXIV mount.

Inset has the regular bridge.
The reason for posting the drawing is for you to have the hull, and underwater line hull as accurate as possible. From this scan and various pictures you can do HMS Dunedin as in 1925, or any other date

Thanks Novice, I've edited the bridge (removed the glasshouse off the front which seems to be a 'C' only part), altered the length of the rib thingy on the lower hull (sorry, can't remember the name - old age thing), I had already edited the hull as the 'D's had 6" more draught than the 'C's. The ribs across the armour appear in the same sequence (from pics). The armour lines end at the same places between drawing and scan. I am not sure what else I can do to the hull from the scan.

Seems you have done it right now, Nige. Without scrutiny under a microscope, she seems O.K now

Thanks for that Novice,

I was beginning to worry I had done something fundamentally wrong that I just could not see.

High praise from someone who did all the 'C's, (mind you about 80-85% of the drawing is yours to begin with), some praise for yourself would not go amiss..
