Well done BH.
One thing is, take a closer look at the masthead where the Type 293 radar is. It seems the radar is bisected by the polemast. Also in the top view you have what seems like CRBF directors which are missing from the bradside views.
And yes I get it, it is only a WIP.

The only thing that I see are the furthest aft 40mm guns aft of the cranes on the two side views that should be facing towards the stern. Or they should be facing forward in the vertical view.

Not strictly a British carrier,she was laid down as HMS Hercules but sold to the Indian navy and commisioned as INS Vikrant.Thanks to Tomas Grotsnik for the drawing.

Beautifull work BH. Just notice that the twin 40mm gun on the front starboard sponson (just below the two Allouette helicopters) is in front of the CRBF in the top view, but on the side view it is aft of the director.

Re Minais Gerais, I also had that on my 'to do' list, but as with the Vikrant, if anyone wants to do it now I can help with references.

Hi Stormwalker; these are trully brilliant :D As Bombhead is now the undiputed 'King' of the flat tops I'd be glad to let him carry on with this project; otherwise I'd be happy to keep it on my list :)
