- Note tabs 78 and walls 76 in picture No.21. The purpose of parts 76 is primarly to prevent a “see
through” effect when casemates of 5” guns are posed open. I’ve added some additional, perpendicular walls (from spare cardstock - parts not included in the kit), as visible in picture No.23.
- Since I’ve decided to pose the casemates open, I had to come out with an appropriate sequence of
shelterdeck installation. To achieve a nice, even connection between shelter deck, part 77, with walls 78, it would be preferable to first glue those parts together and than attach them to the main deck. But this would result in the
neccesity to install 5” guns through casemates - something I thought would be difficult. So I decided to glue parts 78 to the main deck, install guns and only then close shelter deck from above with deck 77.
- The strange white box on the left in picture No.25 is a simple jig I made to ensure that all the 5” guns
have the same elevation of the barrels. I just thought it would look better if they do.
