That would be different mate at the moment I am leaning towards Mogador another one from the French Archives reputed to be the fastest ever destroyer never gor a chance to show it the British damaged her beyond repair.

OK anyone by chance got any hull sections for the V&W class destroyer or can suggest a source?

I've started a model on the superstructure with a nominal hull

Still doing some small bits on Kirov and Enterprise still looking for more detailed pics of both. Kirov has so many platforms I am a bit bewildered by them.

The biggest problem is I lost my file on Mogador and the French site is totaly shut down.

Sorry you lost some data Barry, but those 3D models look good! Are you still using the same program for this?

If anyone has a pic of the hull side under the tower it would be appreciated.

It will be 1/300 no way can I fit in a 1/200 even then it is a bit big got to be a laugh though.

here's a photo of a 1/350 model of the BigE Barry. sorry to get back to you so late. I have been busy. M o d e l W a r s h i p s . c o m - G a l l e r y photo on the left #8

Thanks gtb tht fills in a few more holes biggest problem as with all ships is to stay in one period.

Glen yes still metasequoia too old to learn anything new and too poor to by the expensive ones, however it's a bit like writing machine code programs at least you know where the dot is going.

Is this Kirov model any use? It's from YSFlight.
