How would I tell port from starboard if I was looking at the Bismarck head on? The reason for this is that while studying “Anatomy of…….Bismarck” I’ve got conflicting drawings of the main turrets (p102 and p110) that are mirrored to the vast array of online photos of all 4 turrets. One side has the two separate armored covers for the sights and the other has a shared central track for the covers. The rear turrets online photos are not mirrored due to the great big vent behind “Casar” on the starboard side lower bridge deck.
I think it just got stuffed up in the apparent rush to get the book out (the more I study this, the more suspect it becomes). Also the lower front plate tapers in to the bottom from the center, 10cm in 1:1 scale, is that correct?
It’s not easy building a 1:100 turret mock-up (the 1:100 Bismarck is looking more and more like the ship that we’ll build
) if I can’t validate the drawings in the book.Anyway thank you all for reading or replying, Steve
Does anyone know of “Fare Usage” rulings regarding copy-write laws? This is where the law is waved if the pic or text is used for study purposes. I know this applies to armored modeling sites but I’m not sure about here (hence no scan of the offending drawings).
