Nice build and fantastic paintwork...I have this kit in my stash. Tell me, is it possible to build a captain class and a US version from the same p/e set?

Hi guys, the original photos were posted back at the begining of Jan and have since been deleted, but I reposted them a couple of days ago, so I don't think your missing anything new.

Dave,
I used WEM colour coats for all the main paint work, think that scheme calls for G10or maybe 507a, both dark greys, but the 507 has a blue tint. Both are in the WEM Royal navy colours range.

Allan, You do get a lot of surplus parts in the set, including a complete duplicate set of railings, but I don't think there's a complete duplicate set.
