Keith, you are wrong as that is the Bismarck as i just finished looking at the plans that are in German. Lillypawz, the set of plans just under the S.S. Noggsund is that of a WW2 Town class light cruiser of the British Royal Navy. thought it was of a Modified Leander class light cruiser til i saw the triple barrel 6" gun turrets, the Modified Leander class had 2 barrel gun turrets.

did you use crazy glue to glue the catapult to the turret roof? the guns for the empty tubs where to be installed sometime in the 1st half of 1942 if the war with Japan did not breakout. that thing, is that the chair locker as shown on the main deck drawing i posted that sits partly under the rear overhang of #3 14" turret between the 2 40' motor boats? do a comparison for the empty gun tubs height of your model with that with the navsource jpg link i had posted above.

Rob, the catapult on turret 3, is it glued in place or just sitting there as it is supposed more angled then what you currently have it? look at the main deck drawing i've posted. the tubs for the quad 1.1" guns on the main deck are supposed to be raised not sitting directly on the deck & same for the quad 1.1" director tubs. look at the outboard profile drawing i've posted & the link. what is that thing that will be standing between the front 2 legs of the main mast on the upper deck as not shown in the link or plans? http://www.navsource.org/archives/01/013921a.jpg http://www.navsource.org/archives/01/39a.htm

Brad, if you can, post a 3d image of Copper Cliffs before you print it if you are going print?

Brad, are you certain the prop shaft housing in the hull flares out that much going towards the bow?

i got some bad news for you. 1. the bilge keels are to far up the side of the torpedo blisters. look at the top picture of this link http://www.researcheratlarge.com/Ships/BB39/BOGP/RG19_ALPHA_Arizona_BB39_09.jpg 2. the 14" turret faces do not overhang the barbett but set back a bit. look at the 1st & 2nd pictures. 3. the main gun port openings do not have flat bottoms especially the center opening. look at 3rd picture
