Nevada's as built? Tasty. I have a thing for cage masts. I have some CT plans but I think they lack the detail needed. Pity the Nevadas can't pull off white and buff though. But you could do bright orange for the Bikini version!
I have some Floating Drydock plans in 1/96 for the 1944 version. I'll have to look and see if they have the as-built one. Bikini mmmmm....
I don't think they do. That my main annoyance with them. They have very good coverage of the WW2 versions but not of the as built. I guess backdating to Pearl would be doable but the bulges ruin the old girl's figure. FDD does have a Pennsylvania in her 1913 fit. For the Bikini version all we need now is a 1/96 B-29
Go Pennsylvania 1913 to get the extra guns anyways! It will also give you four shafts to help with moss. It would also be a benefit if you're allowed to use the screws to help turn.
Just posting the info on the Porter class DDs from Conways. 2597 tons full load. 381' 1" over-all. 37' beam. 2 shafts.....37 knots. Eight 5"/38 (four twin turrets). 8 TT (two quad mounts). Sounds like a nice little ship. Mikey
Yeeessssss ... There is a new French cruiser on the building boards right now. Hopefully, sea trials by next weekend, and ready for battle by Memorial day. Right after that one is done, I have to build a Bearn by the beginning of July.
Oops. Just realized that I'm in the wrong scale. Heh. Scratch the last post ... that's all in 1/144. Instead, sometime next winter there will be a French cruiser started in 1/96. The plan is to have that ship done, and perhaps a Bearn in 1/96 by August 1009.
