Thanks a million again, Rick!
Here is what I made of it. Obvious differences bewteen your pictures and my modelling are that I have used you pics (postwar) and the pics from the Floating Drydock book on Destroyer Escorts, which show mostly late war configurations. It seems that during the war there was more fire fighting equipment on the blukheads. I added some to the port side, even though none can be seen in your picture. (Ain't life an ongoing compromise???)
There will be some 20-30 arbors added after painting. I fear that the airbrush would blow them all away. On second observatiion will have to add a few more bits and bobs to the bulkheads.


Now on to the bridge! Your pictures should prove very valuable here, too!
Who supplies non-skid walkway in stripe patterns? Decals would be great!
Cheers,
Guido
