If you were to build a 1914 from a 1944....
1) You could only build it waterline because the torpedo bulges have to come off.
2) Everything above the main deck would have to go. Only the funnel and main guns could be used.
3) you would have to find a way to make the cage masts....Tom's Modelworks does make some, maybe you could improvise with those.
It would en up being about 75% scratchbuilt. I guess it could be done but it would be almost easier to scratch build the whole thing.
