Here's my build so far of the Cleveland class light cruiser USS Houston, made from the Skywave USS Miami/late-war/square-bridge Cleveland class kit. I have yet to add rigging or most PE, though I did add a PE crane from a set I bought from Ebay specifically made for the Miami kit.

While I am aware of the kit's faults, such as the hull being underscale, etc., it was still a fun thing to build.

Paints used for my interpretation of MS32 1D colors:
Tamiya AS-16 light grey spray
Tamiya NATO Black- spray and hand-painted for blemishes
Tamiya Flat black for waterline
Tamiya Medium Blue and White for Kingfisher scout planes
Modelmaster Deck Blue
Modelmaster Ocean Grey

Turned out good! crazy how there were so many Cleveland class cruisers but yet several design differences between them all.
