Phalanx need to be pointed fore and aft. It does look good.

and remove the sonar hanging under the seahawk, I believe seahawk at that time also have another colour scheme. REALLY Great job!

A superb drawing Paul,well worth the wait.

Fantastic! I'd been waiting for this.

I would, however, encourage you to use the standard SPS-49 drawing.

Really, really good! However, I do not agree with either Tim or Erik about the phalanx and the SPS-49. First of all, on the Iowas, the '0'-position of the four phalanx-systems were athwardship, i e barrels pointing towards either beam - not fore-and-aft. Since we do have on the parts sheets a variant that suits the correct arrangement of the weapons installation, then it should be encouraged, rather than discouraged to position them the correct way! In other words: they need not be pointed fore-and-aft! Having the as TimothyC suggests will make the drawing erronenous! About the SPS-49, I believe this variant should replace the old, rather bland one. I know for sure that I'm going to use paul's variant on my own (saved) sb-pictures. It's so much more acutely detailed and much closer to the real thing!

Thanks ! I think that the SPS-49 must be updated, the old look weird...

Greetings.

Except The zero position isn't the standard. The standard is fore-and-aft, unless such set up isn't physically possible (which it is on the Iowas). I'd also point out that the outward facing Phalanxes have not been approved as official versions as of yet.

As you can see, the position of the phalanx on board of the NJ is their default positions.
My new phalanxs are also in the updated CIWS part sheets in the forum but not yet in the main site...

I dont know if they are approved but they seen more good than the old... No ?


Thanks for your comprehension and greetings.
