While I am looking for better pictures to make the refits of the Courbets I have started on the Bretagne class.

Bretagne upon commisioning:


Bretagne in 1932:


Provence in 1934:


Lorraine in 1935:


Lorraine in 1944:

How about finishing the Courbets first.

The as commisioned version is finished. The Paris in 1935 is finished. I don`t have good enough sources to do the Courbet as refitted. Therefore I do the Bretagne while searching for pictures.

Nice work!

I think you have posted the wrong picture here, as you can clearly see the name aft, and it says "Courbet"

Damn I have forgotten about the name tag. Although the differances between the two ships should be apperent. If not, then I have failed miserably.

Edit: Fixed

Why are there picture frame-like windows all around the middle barbette?

LOL, French.

Dont`t know. They are shown on pictures and drawings of her so I have included them here. There are similar windowes structures on the Courbet but not quite as severe as on the Bretagne.

I have fixed some rogue pixels and minor errors and are now truly finished. I have disabled anti-aliasing and have now used 10,5 and 7,5 size on the template.

Now I will start on the refits.

Here are the WIPs of the refits of the Bretagne class.
