Wonderful We will have again a very detailled drawing I do not know if you have these references: nice view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42117802@N06/5770435147/sizes/o/in/gallery-39411748@N06-72157627088991333/ and the complete galleries: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39411748@N06/galleries ...

Herebefore, I have edited the (i hope) FINAL HMS Victorious saga, i have corrected some errors , i have added the catapult bridle catcher for the 1962 config. (soon dismounted), i have added the 1964 config. so there they are: Commission: 1958-1959 (two colour shemes-at least the green is sure) 1958 ...

Thanks Bombhead. I was a little bit annoyed; i just see the video "Floating fortress" another time and ... horror, the flight deck is ... green. see the still photo here: http://www.baimfilms.com/baimStillsDetail.asp?film=Floating+Fortress&CurrentPage=3# So, for the maniacs, here she is: i have ...

The latest revision for old Vic:

Heuhen: Mosquito is the first who has drawn this ship, Bombhead made the top view, left view and add the underwater hull of Darth panda and Mosquito has made the last modifications, Why did i talk about me at the third person :? i'm not julius Cesar, it is a signal: it is time to take a rest :roll ...

Hereafter is the reason of my busy shipbucket time :roll: Trying to go each time further, this drawing is for the 1966 configuration of the ship, each refit giving new modifications.... i also have good reference for the 1958-1959 configuration, Bombhead, may i proceed with the 1958 drawing? http ...
