@ Mr wr, I just received your post mail, thank you very much for your efforts, now I understand the correct shape and, of course, my mistakes, by the way now it's a bit too late, as you can see in the attached photo.
To modify the model now would mean to destroy it, I'll keep it as it is, but this, that I call
my Exeter adventure will not end with this small 1/700 model.
Your comments and drawings are encouraging me to get a copy of the as fitted plans, I wrote a first e-mail, rejected by their mail server, soon I'll contact them by fax, and if necessary I'll call them, uhm better not me but someone who speak English a bit better
....
By the way many thanks again for your hand drawings.
@ Tim about catapults, there is a photo in the warship profile that seems to show the catapults fitted one a bit aft than the other. In my opinion, but I'm just guessing, this is an optical effect 'cause the catapults when not used were folded. In the case of the photo maybe that one was folded and the other not. I hope to be able to get my copy of the as fitted plans to get an answer to this and more other obsucure points of the HMS Exeter.
This is the result with all its limits and mistakes, more photos will come when I'll finish the Carleys, a lot of Carleys ...
