Thanks for that Blackbuck, The other thought I had was to replace the 4" with 6x4.7" as fitted in NelRod, 4 at the back and two by the funnel. Leave the AA as 2x4 and 2x1 2pd guns. I figured the 4.7" would have a much better range than the 4" and a bit better stopping power. Only going to twin 4" an...

Having read Blackbuck and Hood's comments in regards to 2x2 turrets rather than one single space. I have enlarged the turrets to take a 2x2 layout, not only breadth but length needed to be increased to keep the balance of the turret. I agree Hood that I probably have one too many pom pom mountings, ...

Good work David. CM is right in that those high spec 37mm turrets would probably not have been available 1939-40. AA guns of 25mm and 37mm (1933 model) would have been used. Only one trial mounting had been fitted to a ship by 1940 of the later 37mm mod 1935 turret. I can see some manual open cannon...

Lots of discussion in various threads have thrown up many versions of quad gunned ships. I decided to have a look at what an Alternate County would look like with quad 7.5". I have also added the pic to page 1 of this thread so that direct comparisons can be made. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...

Thanks Apdsmith, I missed that porthole, fixed. Not sure on the paravane thingy, as you can see from the drawings I haven't altered the bow structure at all so not sure where the paravane would go unless it was flat somewhere on the focsle and not particularly on display. Thanks for your comments Th...

I will change the props to something more appropriate (off the Dunkerque). The breadth of the ship is 102ft, the crane is mounted 12 feet off center and has a reach of 55 feet, so it should extend at least 15 feet outboard which should be enough. I am happy with the way it looks too, even the big bl...

Ever since I saw the below photo of the Italian 15"/40cal guns for the Caraciolo, built but never mounted, I thought 'what if'.......... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/77fl1oxsai33ad1/HNLMS_15-40_m1914_Vickers_works.jpg What if the Dutch bought the guns off a cash strapped Italian Govt in 1920-...
