- unlike your model, there are no vents in "central posotion" that I can see in the picture, but just four couples of port-starboard vents.DONE

- the two rearmost couples of vents are closer together in the picture than they are in your model.DONE

- the lifeboats should be hung higher than they are now, i.e. their tops should be in line with the top of the superstructure, but I am probably nitpicking here :-P DONE, easy to do =)

- most historical pictures and illustrations display funnel stacks painted with a much more brilliant shade of red than your current texture. DONE, do you like it?

TO DO list:

- also, in your model the bulwark seems more bended upwards (going from midship to the bow) than it looks in the picture, where it is almost straight. But this might be due a different perspective. (Need to know how to do this)

- the covered decks in the stern section need some reworking too. (Tons of work to do here!)

- you should paint more windows on the superstructure (you can try and overlay windows from the hi-res picture to your texture to recreate exactly the same pattern), and many more hatches on the hull. (Just added some hatches for now, windows work will require a big UV remapping of the ship)

And after all, i need to work to damage model (*.zon) and start to think about auxiliary cruiser version...
