Looking good, the masts and rigging could probably do with some minor work. Overall I see no huge errors but I would further comment from my fellow Mods and Admin to whether single pixel bilge keels are acceptable. For a beginner this is an impressive turn out and those camo colours look great. The A's weren't great lookers but they became a world standard for ten years with numerous exports etc being basically revised designs on this basis.
I look forward to more to come.

Jabba, sometimes a drawing doesn't feel right but things normally click into to place and then you feel happier about it.

well the idea is to present the bilge keel as best descriping as possible. I cannot say how the thing looked in A-class from mere memory, so perhaps someone posting a reference to it?

Nice one, good to hear! I'll get to work on the bilge keel. The rigging is kind of hard to get exactly right. Due to the lack of high-quality (and colour!) pictures, I think getting the rigging and other such things looking good is down to experience which I don't have yet...

Glad you like the camo scheme :D

Coming along realy nice, but the Type 271 radar on the 1944 is badly placed. It should be lower, not on a stalk like you placed it. See the picture I've placed in my previous post to get the idea.
