The Ship Model Forum

Dear friends,

my Model of HMS Renown is making a little progress recently, I am working on tha aft superstructure and main mast. Basic source is a little polish book, Profile Morskye, and English books.
Now I got stuck with the yard and the several halyards and arials. In "Anatomy of the Ship, HMS Hood" you can find a drawing of the yard with 4 arials attached, each with a halyard (13).
Does anybody of you know whether Renown had arial halyards at the main yard, too?
And if so, did the run down the entire mast or only tothe starfish platform?
Would there be arial halyards at the foremast,too?

Sorry, once again I have more questions than my books could answer. I ´d be grateful for your support!

Best regards from Wetzlar, Germany

On the 79th anniversary of the demise of Repulse (and PoW), wondering if we'll see any of our fine sponsors in the 3D print space release a corrected aft superstructure for the Trumpeter kit? (hint hint) I know there is photo-etch sets that remedy this, but a 3D printed part would be most welcome.
