If you take a look at my other posts you�ll see one I did when I converted a Prinz Eugen into the Lutzow.
I did use parts from some but also scratch built sections.
I did a search online for as much info as I could find on the plans for the Lutzow, the other gentleman is correct the Russians never finished her, she was partially completed then bombed, repaired and before they could complete her she was pressed into service, but if you do a search you�ll find the name Project 83 or Petropavlovsk and just do a search but unlike the Lutzow where they show a drowning of what she (he) would have looked like if the Germans had completed her. Some sites sunset that the Russians intended to complete her to look like the German Lutzow with the only difference being the aircraft she carried.
Good luck!
Well aware Russians didnt finish, but who cares, this is making a model, and its no different then finishing a Lutzow. Id just do the russian paint on Lutzow and ditch the plane.

Eh... hows this ever a problem when you building a paper design? No different then Montana project for example. Ill do it like it was intended, as planned Lutzow and repaint it russian colors. Noone here has an upper hand in terms of technical plans, its all free game. Millions of bismarcks out there. We need some variety. Thats why I liked this Lutzow build and would like to take it a step further. A what if is great if done right.
