[REL] Improved SH5 HMS Nelson class battleship for SH3

... sadly, the SH5 model represents the Rodney as built but not as it was in 1939 (and later).

The AA weaponary on the pictures does not look right. Can you add the 4.7 inch AA guns and platfroms with the octuple pompoms?

Like that ?

... well, I think that model shows Nelson at the time she returned from the Far East, with all the AA equipment added in late 1944 but already with the peace time colour scheme.

No, I wouldn't go that far to include the 40 mm Bofors guns; up to 4 to 5 octuple pompoms will be impressive enough ...

Unfortunaltely, there's no nice model of 4.7 inch/50 Mk. VIII AA gun, neither with or without shield.

Perhaps we could use your 3D model, and you could improve the shield, and add a version without shield ?

Do you know where I can find 3D models of platforms to add into the guns library ?

First attempt, with Quadruple pom-poms (I didn't find any Octuple pom-poms models), and without platforms.

There's a 2pdrOctuple in the guns.dat

The only file where I didn't search ...

Yes, you're right. The masts in particular need to be reworked :

I corrected GWX_Combined_Skin_Pack for HMS Nelson class.
