Regards Phil Hi Phil, Yes, that's really a large undertaking! Beginning with the hull: have you worked out a way to eliminate the bulges and get the side walls vertical? I assume you will build it waterline like most of your ships, otherwise you'll need to place the rudder, the props and the propshaft 5 scale feet backwards. Do you have a set of plans of London's superstructure after the rebuild?

Thanks so much for this post Phil. I’ve just bought the Cornwall kit and was thinking about converting it to Berwick. Your build has made the decision for me and provided some helpful reference photos as well! Keep up the good work Jonathan
