I think we can all agree that this looks pretty lousy...

Of course, other than the fact that in a travesty of justice the ship in question has been captured and renamed, the ship's profile is a bit blerch, I'm sorry to say.

So instead I used this image, found online but is a scan from a book (in fact this image has been used in a few books):
In the book I have, it is described as an impression of the final approved design for the ships.
In other words, if built, they would have most likely looked something like this.

And with a few tweaks here and there, ended up with this version;

Here it is the same size as on the counter. Can anyone tell the difference?

I have only done this for Warhunter's KiF and modified minor powers Mod.
Replace your original file in the Bitmaps folder (Page21) with this one (attachment below).
I'll get around to doing it for the original dark blue as soon as I can (if anyone wants it, anyway).
Of course, unless you deliberately don't conquer the Netherlands in 1940, these ships never enter the game.
But they are good ships.

Regards,

Toby
