I get the feeling that the releases of Cornwall and Kent are going to be keeping you busy for a while.Phil R wrote:HMS Suffolk is next on my to do list .I haven`t investigated it fully yet .but I will need to cut down the quarterdeck as a start.Guest wrote:Anyone know how far away the base kit is from a Hunt The Bismarck era Suffolk............?

Looking forward to your HMS York, btw.

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?

Re: HMS Berwick 1941
