If that is the case, I would reverse the shading on the aft turrets (upper, darker, lower, lighter) as currently (at least to my eyes) appears that the lower one is farther and the upper one is closer.

@Raxar: I know what you mean. Even to me, knowing where the turrets were, they appeared reversed. I was waiting for more opinions on this matter, but I think it's better to change.

Anyways, everytime I sit down and go over my pictures, I find more details and little things I missed the last time. Shows how much I have to learn. Here's an update for the 1929 Königsberg:


In 1934, some changes had been made to the ship: Superstructure had been enlarged, torpedo caibre increased to 533mm, two additional 88mm Flaks and four 37mm Flaks installed to counter the increasing air threat and a larger crane for the soon-to-be-installed aircraft facilities.

Looks good, only one thing though, missing pixels on the forward turret by the bollards.

The pixels aren't missing, they are overlapped by railing, which goes down by one pixel in the middle of the turret.

Here's the Königsberg in 1938: Aircraft catapult with He-60; 2 could be carried, one on catapult, one disassembled below deck. 88mm twin flak; originially there were three of these, but two were removed during 36-38, when she served under the Navy Inspection. Also, new models for the 37mm twins. Aft superstructure had been modified with 3m Rangefinder with SL-1. Box on the forward superstructure served as testbed for Radars.

They look pretty nice!

Just beautiful Just one question: the x and y turrets are different grey, is it a mistake or with purpose?
