Lawrence good evening since i changed my job 2 years ago, i have no travelling, a slightly lower salary and lost my just doing 4 day week, it is also a lot more tiring, as a result my post count has dropped tremendously. So a month or so back i kind of stopped all PC gaming and vowed to spend time on my builds instead, i am back now full of ideas and dreams of future builds

although 1960 design our P&O boats had two stern tubes and i think i only ever saw beer stowed in them, when they were removed the TOT (torpedo operating tank was opened up and became the new stowage, lol the place was always running with condensation oil and in rough weather other things as well, the in board torp stowages were spare bunks

Still drying and getting fainter, had to take a photo then put the decks under weights to stop any bowing

i forget whether they used different torpedos for fwd and aft shots, im sure they tracked the front shots but after tubes were almost a kind of self defence (chance in a million)

Not quite sure where your question is leading, are you building to sell ?
-
sorry with my abrupt answer, many people think that a well made model will go for large amounts of money, but it is rarely the case, unless commission built, there is alwaays a i in a 1000000 chance that something on the market that someone is looking for but sadly not the one you are referring to
