Re: Scratchbuilding USCGC DUANE 1943
I have started painting the superstructure, first coat of white.

Simple but effective.

This just the beginning of the camo, the hull is finished on one side except for the black boot topping.

Simple but effective.

ah, looks lovely!
Curious Ron, what do you do with all your models? Do you still have most of them - such as the NC, ID, etc? I'd love to see them all on the water together!
