i see now you are working on 1/700. however i wish you still continue the 1/350 lion class =)
From your idea, I started to working on King George V Class Battleship with 16 inch Gun plan.
I remember Churchill wants to put 16 inch Gun on KGV but then UK ended up putting 14 inch 10 guns on the ship.
With KGV Concept, I know Lion Battleship was planned to built.
So I decided to mix two battleship designs.
Pretty much Put 16 inch Lion Gun on the 1/350 Tamiya's KGV battleship.
Since B turret is small. I decided to put on one 16 gun.

Seeing KGV from Top View.
Well. It's on process. I will update more or make my own thread to share my experience.
I only put seven 16inch gun.
It's because i know British people seeks some uniqueness all the time.
plus. 8 or 9 of 16inch gun will be too heavy for 35,000 tonage Battleship....
I was thinking about putting 6 guns. but then it would be too powerless plus pointless too.
With this design, I am planning to make this Battleship into RC mode.
However, my company is planning to send me to oversea so I think finishing modelt kit + Camo + Put some Eching kit will be max work i can do before i leave my country.
Well.. Hope enjoy this too.
