shipman Posted May 14, 2021 Share #1021 Posted May 14, 2021 Canute, I'd just been viewing Kostas Kaseas latest build. If you take the time to look at his previous work on that site it will be very clear he's a cut above the rest. Probably the best.

RGL Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share #1034 Posted November 2, 2021 By late 1945 the A turret had Ben replaced with a hedgehog, and the B turret with a 4” gun with metal skirts.

RGL Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share #1037 Posted November 4, 2021 So my guru Rob Morrow who has been my guide for this build is of the opinion that the front shield under the apron is partitioned with metal on the bottom and canvas on the top.
