Speaking of turrets, I doubt the triple 13" Mk 3-5 is going to work. The much smaller cut-out for the centre gun is going to limit elevation significantly. Come to think of it, I can't recall any triple or three-gun turrets that used a circular layout.

Is that supposed to be Measure 22? If so - the camouflage should not extend above the height of the main deck. ;)

You must not that these guns have a limited gun elevation, If I want better elevation, I would have extended the gun opening on the turret to up on the roof of the turret. 8-)


OH, here is an very small update on the cruiser:

Updated the drawing a bit, the main deck around those funnels is close to finish. And added some torpedoes. and also changed the conning tower a bit.

Looking very nice so far. Too big and modern looking for my taste (primarily the superstructure) but a very nice drawing.
