Thanks for assistance.
I'm assuming that the majority of the usual components that the PE parts replace are going to be in identical locations, hatch's, ladders, companionways, etc., shouldn't really move that far from their original positions! (Subject to usual research and investigation)
Artwox have released a specific deck set, AW10128, which I have just ordered (from Australia!) together with the barrel kit.
So - question - what would be the best reference books/materials to select, bear in mind this will be OOB + PE.
It's not going to bother me that an some lay expert reckons that the kit/model is completely wrong because the gigglegap is a scale 3 litres too short, or the angle of the foo-foo valve lies 11 light seconds too far to starboard. I'm pretty certain that sadly, very few people are around who have actually seen HMS Dreadnought!
Let me also say that that lay expert is an absolute necessity in this world, and if he wants to cut the front of his kit off because it IS too short, then he has my FULL admiration.
Honestly, without people like that where would all the previous knowledge of everything we have known now be!
Thanks in advance

Yeah, I think the majority of the difference is in the superstructure, like the area around the searchlight platforms and admirals cabin/walk. Otherwise the railing, coal scuttles, hatches, capstans, etc..should all be the same since Dreadnought wasn't that dramatically refitted before she was paid off and sold to the breakers in 1921.
