Well, this is an interesting test.
I honestly don't know if the standard SH3 WatchMan is taller than the chosen random italian SeaMan in the real pic. But i try to place the WatchMan's node in order to obtain a similar position, and similar proportions.
Btw,
- real paravane's support appear to be "one man and an half" tall
- modeled paravane's support appear to be "one man and an half" taller too
- real paravane lower end appear to be "at man's shoulder" tall
- modeled paravane lower end appear to be "at man's shoulder" tall too
- real paravane tallest end appear to be "two men and one half" tall (well, maybe something less, but you can see paravane was mounted with a noticeable angle)
- real paravane tallest end appear to be "two men and one half" tall too
So, i'm really not sure that they are too big...
A different point could be the question "why in TrePipe, Spica and Orsa i've placed the paravanes oriented backward and not foreward like others italian DDs and COs?"
Best regards,
