Look good to me Bob.
Still trying to work out why you changed from Armour to floaty things.
I think Chris has a lot to do with this
Keep going .

Hi John

I have always been interested in history, Inc battleships. So before returning to modelling I already had a large library of books, 5 bookcases! Covering the waffen ss, armour and battleships.

It got to the point when I was bored with StuG's. I could build one without the plans etc. So I thought let's change course ( good pun ) .

Just given the bum two coats of paint. However not convinced this is the right red! Always thought the hull red was a bit brighter???

Masked just below the hull paint line, so on both sides there's a strip ready for the boot topping. Will need a steady hand to mask!

However made the mistake of fitting the rear propeller guards first, knocked one off plus awkward to mask. Did the same on the Fletcher.

Happy with the result.

Not sure wether to varnish the hull next?

Also primed the decks, then top coat prior to fitting. Trying out new building ideas, a dangerous plan lol
