Russ,
For some reason, I was unable to get into the forum on your Britannic site (not sure whether the problem's on my side of the fence or yours) so I'll post this here. One feature I just noticed and haven't seen mentioned before are the Navy-type grilles affixed to the top of funnels 1 through 3. They are visible in photo no. 2 of the two starboard side photos on your sight. These grilles are only visible when the ship is viewed aft of amidship. I haven't seen any really good photos of these grilles. I assume they were installed as an Adrmiralty requirement. The grilles affixed to warships such as HMS Hood would probably be a good reference for the modeler to follow in absence of any better material.
Regards,
Scott
