Thanks for the comments!

@Colombamike:
I don`t believe the forward sponson was strengnthend. The references don`t show any changes in that area and one must consider that the sponson also carried the heavy rangefinder before the quad-AA was added.

I must say, that I do not plan to add camo to this "what-if" variant...

Cheers!

Hi,

here`s the latest update of "Gneisenau" after her planned conversion to 38cm guns.

I tried to stay as true to the orginal refit plans as possible.
That`s one of the reasons why she`s missing all of her radar sets this time. The plan just shows her with the radar-huts mounted on top of the rangefinders.

Though logically a searchlight would have been mounted on the aft mast-platform (see "Scharnhorst" post-refit), I left it off for the same reason.

Thanks for looking!

Masterful! What's the story with the huge box behind the funnel?
