Hi all

I noticed that the arrangement of the bow,presented small differences in 1952, compared has its "refurbishing" in the USA in 1943
to start, bulkheads, which protects the servants of 20mm of the blast of 380
no longer has chests for the 20mm ammunitions , but shelves for "40mm chargers "


the round location for the 20mm is redone
The set presented on the deck


the bathtubs presents on the front,had reinforcements added(Arrows)

The modified bathtubs

Cabestants and winches are redone

I modified also the turrets of 380,the space between both openings(arrow)Is not correct

Having separated the front mask ,I inserted a portion of plastic profile of 2mm

The same after sanding ,to left,the turret not modified

The floor are going to be redone also in the next days

Has very soon
best regards
Nicolas

Hello gentlemen's

Michael thanks you for your feedbacks .The continuation of the work on the turret, I redid the present episcope on the roof of the turret

No ,it is not an insect,but,the bottom view of episcope
the turret with the news details



the new turret will be molded with the episcope and the present pr�riscope on the highly-rated .That going to will allow me to make the second turret "has lesser" price by elimination of some details
just for the size

and ,the picture of the new turret and the starter part of trumpy

I prefer that mine

Hi LE BOSCO, her anchors are oversized(maybe 1/200 ),so I recommend you replace them.
