...[you] will definitely need:

2 sets HACS Mk.V (five) directors (DoY and Howe)

1 set HACS Mk.VI (Anson) Correct.

You carry a rear funnel mod for the DoY...was this on-board in Dec. 43? No. DoY's funnel platform extension was a 1944-1945 refit addition.

I'm not sure the enlarged signal deck you offer would work for a 1945 Pacific fleet Anson. The Anson enlarged signal deck was a 1944-1945 refit addition for 1945 British Pacific Fleet service.

Would the Howe also have carried the HACS Mk.VI during her service with the Pacific fleet? No. Only Anson had HACS Mk.VI making her the most modernized ship of the class. Howe retained her boxy Mk. V.

My big need is 2 enlarged boat decks to replace the catapult areas of the Howe & Anson... I guess no one makes these yet... I am not aware of any vendor who offers the midships boat deck. I regret to say that we don't have any plans to offer one. I'm sorry for any disappointment.

Hope this helps!
