Yes Philbob it is a bit darker coloured.I wanted to go somewhere between Vanguard and Jabba's Dreadnought.

Colombamike,I was looking at 1940.I need to replace the octople pompom on the turrets and stern with rocket launchers is that correct ?

For the EARLY "1940/mid 1941" version

Apparently, for the 1940/mid 1941 EARLY AA suit:
- 1 UP atop the forward turret
- 2 UP atop the aft turret
- and 1 ? at stern ?
- 4 octuples PomPom
- and maybe few quadruple 12,7mm MG ???

Please, after the EARLY version, to fully complete this BB class, draw HMS Prince of Wales by december 1941 and one the KGV class by 1945 (with max of light AA gun), maybe HMS Howe ?

Hi guys
Can someone give me a link about the rocket launchers? I cant find any sources for them, but I remember them on my model of the KGV.

Looking good.
One minor point, the Walrus on the catapult looks faded, its not outlined in black. Other than that looks ok. I'm not going to get into the light AA placement arguement just yet! ;)

Sweet! Nice to see the KGV set sail once again. (Even if it is just on shipbucket :lol:)

The radar on the foremast is wrong; it was fitted at the end of the war.
