Note the extra large rear pom-pom platform, for rudder access. I dislike removeable decks (generally).

point taken about the pom pom deck i am working from a set of plans by by C.Bingham from Nexus Plans Service .But they seem to be a bit more detailed than yours ,please i mean no offence by this comment , you do not seem to have the 6" turrets between the smoke stack and pom pom gun control .Ashley i have the ultimate respect for you and your skills but was just making a comment .

Andy, the superstructure has been widened a touch to allow for battery insertion (two 6v gel). As I was only making a stand off model, the plans I had were adequate..they are not really "plans" just layout drawings. To make a better model you would need plans such as you have bought.

6 inch turrets are of course missing on the partially completed hul, as per picture..is this what you mean ?? The turrets were also moved inboard very slightly to make them more damage resistant.
