Hi Jean-Paul,

Looking very nice. I hope you will continue with it to completion. Would be fun to see two versions of the same model being built side by side.

There doesn't seem to be much available on the web for Kormoran. Like you, I have only been able to find profile views for the ship. I have a reasonable profile drawing from Tom Frame's book "Loss and Controversy". There seem to be very few photos which isn't surprising I suppose given the nature of the fighting these ships undertook.

One thing I find useful with obscure ships is to refer to photos of scale model kits and builds. These two might be useful as reference for the superstructure:

There are plans for "Pinguin" at the Dreadnought Project. A similar ship at first glance but with different stern. The plans at the link are definitely worth a look. Lots of good potential 3D projects in there:
