Tanks Cocru....the yellow colouring on the turrets denote a colour code for an operation in this case Operation Rhinunbung....yes whilst sailing if not in action stations the forward supersturucture anti aircraft guns were stowed facing the front and the aft superstcure guns faced the back

IT is totally brilliant Lou, how amazingly beautiful. I love the way you do the sea, it is so real. The photos look really great with that dark sea and the powerful background of strong weather, the ship looks mightier and more realistic than ever.

Lou i must pass another comment, 'she is truly a magnificent ship'. Probably your best although i know you have heard that before. Also, i think you built this in record time.
