Above are some pictures of the Derfflinger hull I took today. I was watching some video on YouTube and started looking at Derfflinger vs Kongo. While the Kongo has side by side rudders and the Derfflinger has 2 in-line rudders, the Derfflinger is several inches shorter. This combined with the shape of the Derfflinger bow near may allow the Derfflinger to perform as well as the Kongo's. The ease of sheeting will be a real advantage. The uper aft turret is almost in the same location as the Kongo Class. The turret was moved forward because of the engine room location. Watching Tyler's Derfflinger makes one want to give it a try. Here are the hull and turret pictures. The blue tape was used to even out the cap rail. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the ship. Thanks to Strike Models for making the hull available.
