No worries, doing my math I got 45mm from the bottom of boot to keel. Then making it only 5mm thick. But I think I like your idea of making it 5/16” thick. 
 

that math was just based off the scale of the actual ship vs the scale of the photo in the drawing. So I may be off a few mm I’m glad I was close. 
 

how about the colours you used on the hull which great and white or light grey? 
 

thanks

I went RLM 75 for the hull and just picked a white.The turret colors I had to make but but started with RLM04 and worked it from there.Your measurement comes in @1.771" weras mine is 1.875" that's 1/10" lower than mine at the bottom of the boot?It's a judgement call ?is your build up and running yet?

 

I was looking at the waterline and if you go your measurement you will be about 1/10" above the rear shaft support go higher.The Atlantic bow came about because the Kreigsmarine like there ships to sit low in the water but the flat/straight bow let the deck get to much wash.You can see the nice gentle slope upward to the forward mast when you sit back
