Ace,

I've redrawn the launchers and these should now match the heights (in pink) you gave. Also the bases were a bit off so I've redone them. It's surprising how many differences there are between the launchers on the T82 and T42, even the launch rails were a different shape (which I hadn't noticed before).
If everyone is happy with these, and your happy with the below decks parts then I'll marry the two up onto the sheet.



As a general rule, I'd suggest kitbashers only use the launcher from the Type 42, as the one on Bristol seems only to be specific to that ship, even CVA-01's launcher was of the variety fitted to Type 42.

hood, one note for the type 82 launcher: if you look at the belowdeck parts, you will see that the missile rail (from the magazine to the hatch) is the same length almost exactly. I think this is the parameter for the different launchers: how deep is the magazine below the deck the launcher is on.

and well.... I've fitted the 2 of them on the parts already, they fit very nice

The Weapons Sheet has again been updated with Ace's excellent below-deck parts. I've added the Sea Slug below-deck parts as promised, perhaps the biggest yet drawn!

You might be able to scale an Ikara launcher off of the Free World Frigate Cutaways:

I'm sure Novice posted an excellent cross-section of the Ikara magazine but I can't find it now.

I've forgotten to add the Boxed Ikara II and that will be added on the next update!

Does anyone have any information about the Vickers Mark N on the parts sheet?
I've been looking around on the internet and the only Mark N I've been able to find was a rather different gun

The gun you mean is the one used only by Chile Almirante Riveros and is described here

Yeah, but I'm interested in the fully turreted one on the sheet, the one above the 12pdr. QF.

That reminds me, while we're asking questions, does anyone have a top-view of the 4in Mk V?
