    depends on the time period so sometimes there is a shadow & sometimes there is no shadow line.

    that looks better.

    the Veteran mounts are supposedly mk22 whereas your father's were mk35.
  14. ddp
    what mark are those Veteran 3"50 cal gun mounts as the Iwo Jima class used mk35 gun mounts? Black Cat Models does make mk33 gun mounts. https://blackcatmodels.eu/en/weapons/292-mk33-3-automatic-twin-gun-x2.html

    go thru this link at comparable ship for the time period you are working on for the flight deck markings. https://www.navsource.org/archives/10/11/11idx.htm

    no problem.

    i have 4 of them built out of the box back in the 70's that i'm going to redo in various configurations from ww 2 to the gulf war. take a look at this link. https://archive.org/details/ship-design-drawings?tab=collection&query=uss+missouri

    mounted onto the front of the mk 33 directors til the directors were replaced with the mk 37 with the radar mounted on the top. your Missouri, ww2, Korean war or gulf war configuration?
  19. ddp
    would be kind of hard to put a radar on the top of the director when it had a canvas cover for that area. most radars for that type of director had them mounted on the front face. have a look at this link that shows the aft director without radar in which you can see a crew member sticking out of the open top, back right corner. https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/020526c.jpg

    you are welcome. did the model instructions tell you there was radar dishes on the top of the directors?
  21. ddp
    look at the drawing i had posted, bottom row, 2nd from the left. also look at this link/picture. https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/020503.jpg
  22. ddp
    the 2 mk 33 directors are in reverse & unlikely those directors had radar dishes on them as Enterprise did not get hers til late 1942-43. Battle of Midway photos do not show any radar on those 2 locations. the platforms with the 2 search lights each should be centered on the center funnel uptake not offset like you have it now. https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/05.htm
  23. ddp
    so your model will show 2 enclosed 3" gun mounts in front of the island & 2 open 3" gun mounts on sponsons on either side of the stern, correct?
  24. ddp
    depends on the time period difference between the 2 pictures but the starboard dash line might be hidden by the crew standing at attention.
  25. ddp
    see if this helps you with that mast.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
