They are 4-in and always shown as drawn; if in doubt please check other drawings. My only advice at this point is to tweak the upper bridge wings, as they step down very low, so as to create a risk of crew falling over ;)

Thanks PB, your right... I don't think that bridge wing would have passed health and saftey! :lol: I've made it bit more sturdy and added a few more details.

Thanks a lot Bombhead, it was half finished for a long time. I'm quite pleased with the results, thanks to the help from the forum.

Well, I like the result; one of the better 'own designs' current. Of course, I'd do it differently, but that's just personal preference; so all in all a very good drawing :)

I think he's talking about the gun on the elevated platform, not the elevation of the gunbarrels

That's precisely what I meant... thanks Thiel.
The layout is awkward... and I know that all guns which are physically able to reach 0* are to be shown that way, or in the lowest possible elevation otherwise. That's just Standards.

I've put all the 4.5" guns on the same deck as Carthaginian suggested, it did look a bit weird before.
