Just noticed that the Squid is placed in the wrong place. It was at the break of the forecastle deck, and you drew it on the extreme stern.
Also when the main mast was plated and Type 965 radar installed the Type 41 lost their STAAG mounting and instead a single Mk.5 Bofors was placed (as seen in the mirror image of F14 HMS Leopard)

Novice the placement of the Squid,is that on the pre re-fit version? As the stern pic shows it right aft in the late pic of Lynx.

The Squid's position was never changed. If it shown in the post-refit photo at the foe-castle break, than it was so positioned before the refit. any other position shown is either wrong or misinterpretation of the picture.

Is that not the squid right at the stern on F27 ?

Squid need to be a little more foreward, towards the diagonal line, as seen from the post-refit picture of HMS Leopard (which incidently is a morror image of the original)

I turned it that way around cos it was easier to draw.

Some points, using your drawing.

Also note that your ship looks too squat, and relations between various parts is wrong, as seen from the attached drawing.

I see what you mean,it should not be that hard to fix.

That's about as close as I can get it.

Great job there, Bombhead. I think you nailed it, though that picture should be taken with some caution since it's partially angled upward and right angle stern to stem. But, what can I say. Have had to do such things myself tpp, so know the hassle!
