A RW project: Scharnhorst/Gneisenau with 15 inch guns. Original and upgunned.

What about a post war version updated with helicopter deck and missiles?

Always thought the Yamato would suit an American style weapons upgrade given that it already had a hanger deck at the rear. Would make a great whif.

With this drawing I try to figure out how to trasform a Pola class cruiser into a design of an italian compact battleship that appears in page 237 of 'The Complete Encyclopedia of Battleships and Battlecruisers' by Tony Gibbons.

Displacement: 27,000 tons

Main armament: 6 x 15in

I found first profile in the internet marked as HMS Barham. I think that its bow is fictional. Am I right? Anyway I like mentioned bow and grafted it in HMS Warspite and HMS Royal Sovereign.

US FlyingBattleship 1st iteration

USS Massachusetts 1/720 + P-38 1/72

oh la la !

I once tried something alike (in 3D) with a B-24 and an aircraft carrier (but imgur seems to refuse my attempts at loading an image ...)

US FlyingBattleship 2nd iteration. The definitive WEAPON

USS Massachusetts 1/720 + P-38 1/72 + M10 1/72 (tracked modules must be considered as bogies)

ericr · « **Reply #58 on:** March 23, 2018, 05:56:16 AM »

absolutely grand

and the twin-boom P-38 should appeal strongly to Tophe

might make use of an air escort

Love your concept

I have a 1/400 Gharles De Gaulle in my stash ... and quite a few seaplanes ...

Reaching the limits of submarine.

Submarine Battleship. in a certain way it could be like a 'BIG' Surcouf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_submarine_Surcouf

Submarine Aircraft Carrier.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #65 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:12:33 AM »

First approach to Submarine Aircraft Carrier and Battleship. These are based on 2 bottom KGV hulls (remain of waterline cutting) glued together.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #66 on:** May 29, 2018, 04:29:38 AM »

Two approaches to super Graf Spee

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #67 on:** June 17, 2018, 06:30:54 PM »

Alternative main artillery for Bismarck.

Insert: What I considered turrets could look with all big guns german designers considered during WWII, they also considered 2 gun turrets only.

In this line, I envisaged posibilities to intall them on a Bismarck hull. 15 inch is included for comparison purposes.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #68 on:** March 04, 2020, 01:05:23 PM »

What if HMS Hood à la Richelieu (top), alternatively a more british option with bits taken from KGV

finsrin · « **Reply #69 on:** March 04, 2020, 02:14:27 PM »

Interesting profiles. What would be two medium looking turrets to stern of à la Richelieu style ?

Suggestion: How about a 80s-ish modernization like on Iowa class ?

Volkodav · « **Reply #70 on:** March 04, 2020, 08:34:25 PM »

Nice work!

Been planning a build like that for several years, a Nelson with to quad 14" from a KGV forward and either 6" or 4.5" secondaries. Superstructure would be moved forward to provide space for significantly enlarged machinery, rear facing hangar and stern mounted catapult. The idea is a mid 30s battlecruiser to counter the Deutschlands.

What if a HMS Belfast equipped with 2x2 14 inch torrets (KGV's narrow turret). A kind of British pocket/compact Battleship

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #72 on:** April 19, 2020, 01:44:26 PM »

Two alternatives to install 2 quadruple 14 inch turrets (from kgv class) in HMS Hood. Old secubdary artillery is deleted and main turrets of HMS Belfast are intalled instead.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #73 on:** July 04, 2022, 03:35:04 AM »

In these ideas I am mating Airfix 1/600 Moskva and Heller 1/400 Lenin. So a kind of scaleorama.

As what I like the most in Moskva is funnel, resulting projects must be powered by conventional means.

1. Civil icebreaker powered by steam turbine
2. Militar icebreaker equipped with anti-aircraf weapons
3. Militar icebreaker equipped with anti-aircraf and anti-submarine weapons

There are probably errors in armament ... never mind! My aim is aesthetics and coolness :thumbsup:

Sovietized Victorious

Perhaps you can help me: Would it have any meaning, such weird conbination of radars, antenae, sensors, etc...?
