North Atlantic convoys. So it was cold with occasional ice. :wave_1:

A bit of artistic license. But there is a photo of Kamloops in 1942 with 2 masts and Western Approaches camo https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/HMCS_Kamloops_1942_MC-2445.jpg And I just found the Western Approaches job a lot more attractive than overall gray. I was considering painting the "Wet Ass Queen" shield art, and the "Barber Pole Squadron" striping on the funnel, but I believe these came later than my time frame. Best keep my anomalies to a minimum! On retrospect, I may have to switch out the pom-pom for the twin Lewis. :wave_1:

Great to see her completed! Really nice job with the conversion, and so unusual to see a two-masted Flower with dazzle camo.

Great subject for a model.
The model looks good and the camo is very different.

This is conversion using Revell 1/144 Snowberry as donor kit, with some scratchbuilding. HMCS Wetaskiwin as she would have looked in 1941:
