First thought, mm Peter missed to take images from what he did so he took some from the real ship ....
Haha,
In that case, you might see that they hooked some blocks the other way around on the 1:1.
That presumably happened in 2022 after the new masts were installed.
Now you can go two ways:
-either the blocks on the 1:1 do not conform to the old specifications.
-or the blocks on my 1:50 do not conform to the 1:1.
Food for thought. There are already discussions anyway. Following my model featuring the skipper and mate's quarters in the aft section, there were already volunteers wondering if the engine room could be reconfigured along with the engine. So that part of this aft accommodation could be restored. But that has been set aside; it would be too drastic a 'remodeling' of all the equipment in the engine room.
