    Well All electronic mounts now in. So I started pouring the Water Channel two days ago. Got the stern pourd so far and now have the bow poured a few minuets ago. I guess I will have to have a few pictures done soon for you guys so you can see her a bit.

    How far are the casemates set back from the edge of the hull on the Konig class?
    Thanks,

    Technically they have the same casemate issues as the Baden/Bayen. It's a stupid rule on these ships.
