[edit] Input
I tried to use clear 0,0,0 - 255,255,255 transitions to make possible corrections easier. Focusing on one state of construction in the liftetime of ship is much more tricky than one may think. Additional equipment may have been added or removed - with little or no written documentation at all. So - as soon as you know what you are doing, your input is welcome. :)

Musashi, 武蔵, 2 view drawing, showing her in October 1944. It took us very long, but finally fruitful discussions until we were able to agree on this version. Remarks: The main deck should be camouflaged with a sloppy layer of black, or possibly dark-green, paint, as it can be seen on Yamato during the battle of the Sibuyansea. However I added no camouflage for reasons of clarity. Some of today’s reconstructions differ from this version as I have placed an additional 25mm AA-gun and an additional rangefinder on the extensions of the superstructure. Some explanatory notes were added to this image for trial [1]. (colordepth 16 Million, colors used 26168, size 4177 x 2026 pixel). |

Yamato, 大和, 2 view drawing, showing her on April the 7th 1945. Additionally to the streghtend AA-Gun suite, the Yamato received some modifications compared to 1944 Musashi. For example the Mast of the aircraft-crane was removed shortly before the final battle, the main-mast was modified in early 1945, the main-anchors were secured by steel wire ropes and the chain was not visible on 7. April 1945. I first thought it would be easy to modify 10/1944 Musashi into 04/1945 Yamato - but that turned out to be a mistake. Btw, the white markings on the deck are maneuvering aids, applied to give bridge personnel a better idea of the ships outlines at night. Thanks to user Felix Sandberg for his support and his IJN knowledge (again). Some explanatory notes were added to this image for trial [2].(colordepth 16 Million, colors used 31081, size 4177 x 2026 pixel) |

Fusō, 扶桑, 3 view drawing, showing her 1944 state of construction. I preferred the full flight deck variant over Skulskis "V" shaped cut in the flight deck cover for 1944. As for all japanese battleships in the Leyte operation, turret "A" may have been painted in black on 25th of October 1944 - but I cant tell for sure. The main crane for the boats, located on the aft superstructure, is secured in a parking position and I didn`t cram the deck with all boats that were originally present. The light Type 99 machineguns were portable, including their gun carriage, so I left them away. I did this version to correct the mistakes included in this files predecessor(s). (colordepth 16 Million, colors used 38830, size 3465 x 2024 pixel) |

Kongō, 金剛, 2 view drawing, showing her 1944 state of construction. There is some debate in scholarship about her exact look in 1944, resulting in various versions. As on Fusō, the light machineguns were portable and the exact positions of all those guns are unknown (at least to me).(colordepth 16 Million, colors used 28029, size 3490 x 1810 pixel) |

Akula class, Щука-Б, Drawing of the 4 different, currently thought to be active, versions of russian Akula class submarines. I did this to help solving the conflict dealing with the "original" russian designations and NATO/US Codenames, which came up during the work on the german wiki Akula article. For 5* "Akula" models, each different in some external aspects from its predecessor, we find only 3 western designations: "Akula","Improved Akula" and "Akula II".*(number five, not included in this drawing, looks like the bottom submarine without the additional launching-tubes).(colordepth 256, colors used 256, size 2579 x 2654 pixel)

[edit] Various Drawings
 drawing of an East German E 512 combine harvester as it was produced by the GDR "Fortschritt" state combine |
 2 view drawing of a german 12,8cm L/61 tank destroyer, based on the vehicle at display in the Kubinka museum near Moscow |
 2 view drawing of the russian Black Eagle prototype shown in 1999. Combines a lengthend T-80 hull with Kontakt-5 armor and a new turret. The turret installations for the gunners and commanders sights did not seem to be functional and were installed mirrored to conventional desings. Possibly the housings for these instruments were only empty placeholders. |
