Moin,

was meinst Du mit "selbstgemixtes modell" ?
Sie ist aus der vom "Frosch" überarbeiteten "Northampton" entstanden und alle arbeiten daran bis auf die Texturen, die ebenfalls vom "Frosch" kommen, sind meiner Feder entsprungen.

Beautiful. I always wanted the "Indianapolis" for Silent Hunter - this is a good stand-in because they would have looked almost identical.

Hmm very nice looking forward to this

Hi Maddy,

Regards the mod you made to the hanger sides:

I'm using Google translate for this next as my German is very poor!

Es gab keine Verkleidungen under the gun Wannen. Was Sie sehen, in das Foto des Indianapolis tatsächlich Schatten der guntubs cast wie das Foto in starkem Sonnenlicht genommen wurde. Die Seiten des Hängers waren völlig flach und ohne Verkleidung.

Wenn Sie OK mit einigen Rückmeldungen sind, wird das Modell präzise für die Indianapolis vor ihrer letzten Überholung. Für den Portland, sollten Sie verkürzen das Vorschiff so dass es direkt vor dem Trichter endet. Die Indy als Flaggschiff eingebaut wurde, so hatte sie eine längere Vorschiff eine Unterkunft für einen Admiral und seine Mitarbeiter bieten.

Ein weiterer Unterschied ist, dass die Portland eine etwas höhere formast hatte ebenso.

Als für das Modell wie es ist, wenn Sie die Verkleidungen zu entfernen, dann entfernen Sie den Port Katapult (aber lassen Sie den Turm in place), haben Sie die Indianapolis, als sie beim versenkt wurde.

(In English: There weren't any fairings under the gun tubs. What you see in the photo of the Indianapolis are actually shadows cast by the guntubs as the photo was taken in strong sunlight. The sides of the hanger were completely flat with no fairings.

If you are OK with some feedback, the model is accurate for the Indianapolis prior to her last refit. For the Portland, you should shorten the forecastle so it terminates just in front of the funnel. The Indy was fitted as a flagship, so she had a longer forecastle to provide accomodation for an Admiral and his staff.

Another difference is that the Portland had a slightly higher formast as well.

As for the model as is, if you remove the fairings, then remove the port catapult (but leave the tower in place), you'll have the Indianapolis as she was when sunk.)

Hope that helps!

It's good model!

Mike.

Thanks MGR for this informations.
I reworked it back cause you are right, that are only shadows on the picture.

Any chance we could see two versions of this class, including an early war version around 1942? In my opinion Portland and Indianapolis looked even better with their bridge windows intact. You could, of course, give a disappearance date in their cfg file that corresponds to their first major refit. SH4 badly needs 1942 versions of most American BB's and CA's.

Anyway, excellent job on a hard to model ship!

I have made the pre refit versions of the New Orleans, Portland and Pensacola. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=186531

Excellent! Somehow I missed that thread.

Hello Maddy!

Great model

Do not mind the forecastle lenght; that changed with time also on the Northamptons (partly due to an attempt to reduce top weight). We cannot build ship in all phases of their carreers (I tried with the Leander Class and ended up with 4 separate models ...). Just go for what you like best. That'll do!
