Hope fully yes, I plan to have as much "accurate" detail as possible. When looking up into the rear you will be able to see the ramp, the tank deck and some of the piping etc in the roof.

Well after lots of sanding the shape of the hull is nearly there, all I have to do is get the bow shape right and the two "inward curves" on the bow port and starboard. I managed to get most of the sanding done with an orbital sander but the rest is going to be done by hand..... As you can see there are plenty of holes and indents that need filling, once the basic shap is right then i can start smoothing her off fully. Need to trim that nose a little lol

Well you did say you had to alter the bows, 'but', what the heck, a face lift is a face lift.
Thats the way modeling goes, looks good to me, once you have shaved the bows lol. ;D

I dont she will float very well lol...... done a little more: gave her a coat of matt black, made it a little easier to see what and where needing sanding. The bow is more or less the shape i want now as is the hull, just requires some minor filling and sanding. Done a litte to the last few upper decks (04 & 05 deck?) here you can see the two levels of the bridge. Enjoy
