Added the rope than ran around the hull, probably to help any sailor getting back aboard after an unwilled bath (painted fishing line). Attachment:

Well this is the best i can do for now, would still like to add a touch of weathering and the odd bit of extra detail but i had my shifts altered so building when on nights is a no no so i'll call it finished. The type IV Hunt class were loathed by their Lordships in the Admiralty but much loved by their crews. What we see in this design is the fore runner of post war RN ship design for many years to come. With a high freeboard long focsle deck and short quarter deck they were good sea keepers, all torpedo training gear was below decks and the bridge was designed to deflect wind better plus having protection often found in much larger ships.
