the stern gun tubs are too far forward causing the catapults to overhang those gun tubs.
-
you must be glad that you also did not glue them solid as then that would be an extremely serious problem to try to fix.
-
if your model had the 2 rudders & 4 props like the real ship had, then your model might have handled better then it currently does.
-
should have put the lead shot into bags so can be removable til all work is done so you would know what lead weight is needed to get the model down to the correct waterline.
-
the model's tower of the forward superstructure appears to be to tall in relation to the heights of the 2 smoke stacks. the ship's profile drawing in the bottom picture backs that up that the tower is too tall.
-
is that hull warped from the swimming pool deck to below the port holes to the right of the clear tape holding the decks to the hull?
-
the layout & shape of the aft superstructure appears to be wrong according to these links. Starboard view off Norfolk Navy Yard, 3 June 1942. http://www.navsource.net/archives/01/015560.jpg November, 1944. http://navsource.net/archives/01/055/015515g.jpg in 1945. Line drawing by A.L.

Ian, do both props spin in the same direction or does 1 spin right & the other spins left?
-
double check my math to confirm the belt thickness. that is why i said a dremel tool or similar to reduce or remove the belt & replace with new belt so no wavy lines caused by reducing belt thickness.
-
what time period of the war for NC? armor belt thickness for that class would be 12" so at 1/700 scale it would be .435mm thick, do you have a dremel tool or similar to remove that belt & replace with 2 layers of .2mm or 1 layer of .5mm thick styrene sheet?

the Princess Royal outboard/inboard drawing i have on my computer as fitted does not show anything in the spotting top.

what do you mean by "line chart"?
-
are all the boats the same or different & same goes for the launches? do you have plans/drawings for the boats & launches?
-
what time period are you doing the model as Trumpeter's painting instructions leave a lot to wonder about?
-
no problem.
-
those are not barbettes for the 6in guns but casements. the barbettes are the bases for the 13.5in turrets to sit on. they are similar to what was on the American standard battleships with the New Mexico class being the last to have them in the hull but no guns installed.

redo the float test after you got it all built & rc stuff installed to make final ballast adjustments.
