Re: Real Gunbucket For Real Designs

Now, two rifles and two pistols of the SCW: The main rifle of the defenders of San Juan hills was the Mauser 93, which would be the main rifle of the spanish military for 20 years, and was chambered to the 7x53 cartridge or 7 mm spanish. There is just one little problem. The correct caliber is 7 x ...

Re: USS Zumwalt Revisited

Erik, you really need a new place to look for photos. I would suggest that you try the National Museum of the US Navy on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/127906254@N06/ . You'll find Zumwalt-class photos under albums on page 3. They have about 39 photos. There are probably enough photos there to ...

Re: Farragut class destroyers

Colo, I just have two things to say. First, another fantastic job, just like we've come to expect of you. Second, look at your drawing of Farragut. . .

Re: The Yorktown Class: USN Pre-war Carriers

I've no idea about the placement of the SA set. Looks like it's at the first uptake, judging from this photo, but I can't be sure. Charybdis, I believe that the radar is mounted on the starboard fore edge of the funnel. Looking at this photo (assuming the link works) http://www.history.navy.mil/our ...

Re: UK Proposed CL's 1918

Re: The Federal Monarchy Of Tol Galen

I know that I've never commented on any of your ships before, so my opinion may not carry much weight with you. However, I do see a problem with mounting the five-inch gun aft.

Re: FD scale aircrafts 10 - The second generation

Fantastic work! Just one minor little mistake that I can see. In the sixth drawing (B-52G cruise missile configuration), it should read "B-52G with Phase IV modifications and AGM-86 ALCM launchers and wing strakes", not "wing streaks."
