HMS "Prince of Wales"/GPM Nr 198
- Thread starter Scorpio
- Start date
four guns turret
French pre-WW2 battleships Dunkerque, Strasbourg, Richelieu and Jean Bart, had eight big guns, splitted into two front turrets only, to spare armour weight, on the other hand, the mechanism allowing elevation couldn't act them separately: the twins right were bound, and the twin left too, so it could be considered as a 2x2 turret.

Hello friends,
Today only a few photos of ready built Geschütztürmen A, B, C
On tower B and C still reach " Chicago pianos " .
All together it is inserted on the ship 6 pieces of it as an air defense.
But about that point I writes later.

Hi Christoph,

Your builds are allways so perfect and you build them so quikly...
Congratulations for this ship.

Diamantino Mateus

Hello dear friends,
Finally, the construction report is at the end. Now I show only the pictures I today has done. I have decided all pictures here reinstellen because in the principle to the construction report belong.
I wanted to do the photos so that they point like it possibly a lot from the model. Whether has to me this succeeded? I do not know.
I might still say that the nice climate and your auxiliary readiness had big influence on run this report. For it I might thank me with You from whole hearts.
We see ourselves again with the next project "HMS VICTORY" I together with Michael and Rob does.
With the best greetings
Christoph
