Some great resources and advice, I can see I might need to raise my goals.

The main frame is now complete.

I've decided to go for the corrected bow shape this will mean cutting some new frames but then I definately need the practice.

[quote="Heinkel51"]Great photo's Guys extremely useful and very much appreciated.

Please excuse my caution over the drawings but I am aware that drawings can relate to a refit which may mean the ship now has a different shape to its sister ships. Interesting comment on the camber, certainly the photos suggest the Digital Navy model is a little exaggerated.

Hi Heinkel, your caution is very welcome, and just demonstrates your love for the art of model shipbuilding.
I try to do my best when giving some information, and hope to always be bringing help.
Some other way, I try to be very objective, and when not doing this, is for I'm not certain because references are poor.
For the camber, you could just eyeball a little bit, but referring to pics.
Yes, I think the plans of Digital Navy have some incorrections, but they are very good and interesting.

Cheers!!! :thumbs_up_1:

Hi Desron, thanks a lot for information. Such a privilege to be member of a comunity like this, that we can learn a lot. In portuguese, for Naval Art that is called "Luz de Alcançado". :wave_1:
Nice regards: Jimmy
