Thanks Jim.
A delicate stack to draw, it looks simple, but it's not. Beautiful design work by the designer.
It's not finished.

The Stack is finished, all that remains is to connect the spray pipes, used in the event of fire, chemical or nuclear attack to decontaminate the ship. These spray nozzles run along almost the entire length of the ship.

Splendid work on this beauty... and many thanks to elaborate on the history, very interesting. As a Belgian, once found this kit to build once in 1/350, and when I come around to it, this will be a very nice reference...

Merci!
The bridge wings, gyro repeaters, and a few accessories are still missing.
I'm going to redo the stack; the plan I had isn't accurate.
Plus, I found a photo in my extensive documentation that shows the layout and shape of the exhaust pipes.
Lots of details in Xavier's video:

I'ts an intricate shape for sure. To me it looks like the aft corners of the stack should be just as rounded as the front corners.

Indeed.
But that's not the most important thing:
My first schematic plan:
The real shape:
New pictures from a Dutch publication.
Then, there is another one.

I haven't made much progress this past week, as I was away.
I added a few details today.

I began drawing the mast, which is often laden with equipment and antennas on a warship.
Each hunter has its own characteristics.

For the past few days, I have been continuing to draw the mast, which is taking a long time to complete.
The shapes are unusual if you want to stay true to the original, and there are lots of devices and details to draw. It's still not finished, but it's almost there! Just a few antennas are missing.
