my drawing and your's are very similar, i guess we used the same refrence due to the similarities. Some mistakes to mention.

Funnels, not orange, dark red.

Top deck housing, white, not black.

The ship has a hullcurve, you have the curve in the black hull but don't reflect that with the rest of the ship.

Masts are not yellow, only on wartime Lusitania.

Housing over rear deck only on Wartime Lusitania.

Thanks. Right now I'm focusing on more WWII Aircraft. I'm currently working on a Grumman F6F.

The only plans I used were from "Exploring the Lusitania" by Robert Ballard and Spencer Dunmore (That pullout at the end of the book). The pre-war version was modified using photos from "Lusitania: The Ship and Her Record" by Eric Sauder.

Thank you. I like this version more than my wartime "Lusi" because it shows her in the prime of life, the sleek Edwardian greyhound and Blue Riband holder, not the ship whose loss became a stepping stone bringing the U.S. into the war against the Kaiser.

I'll say, pluse you see the cunard stacks, when she went wartime, they painted them black to try and confuse U-boats into who she is.

Cool! Very well done! By the way, I was told that Lusitania was Cunard's flagship, but was it not the Mauretania? Well, at least until Aquitania.
