Great, clean build.
Nice painting with subtle weathering.
Perfect combination.... :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks Dan!

For the decks I used RN deck grey/green from the WEM colourcoats range. I really had no idea what to do, it certainly wasn't going to be IJN linoleum!

Jeez, I just am noticing this now, Andrew. Great job! The bridge looks really nice, so do the booms. A little detailing went a long way with this build. The black hull obscures the depth of the molded hull plating, in a good way.

What color are the decks? I can't make them out.

I am encouraged to complete mine. Thank you.

Yes, this is a very nice build.

Nice to finally see one in this scheme.

She looks great Andrew! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: I love the paint scheme too! Top notch!!! :cool_2:

Dear Fellow Modellers

Got this one a while back as I liked the scheme. It reflects the last period of pre-war optimism in Merchant Shipping

The kit came with a rather tough stainless steel fret. I made some efforts to make the central bridge structure open like the original.

I dressed it up with resin winches and ventilators.

Hope you like it?
