All of the Big 5 hulls were externally identical and all were supposed to get the same blister. Colorado should have the same blister. I have no idea how close Profile Morskie since I do not have a copy, why buy a book when I have most of the originals scanned at hi-res.

did the Maryland use the same bulge as used on the Colorado & if so then how accurate was the Profile Morskie's bulge drawing for the Colorado? Previous Message
The original is right where it should be, NARA. I have a scan and made an Autocad vector of it, both full size and 1/350. Previous Message
where? Previous Message
Bet you didn't know there's a 1/2" = 1' (1/24 scale) body plan of the blister too. Previous Message
Figures, years after I finish my 1/96 Maryland, clear, large photos appear. Previous Message
just noticed that the inboard props had flat tips compared to the outboards that were round. Previous Message
More images of Mary’s torpedo blister were just downloaded on the NHHC site.
