Hi, another one finally photographed. A delightful kit from AJM although I was initially supplied with two port-side paddle boxes - soon remedied by AJM. Quite fiddly but I took some lessons from Jim Baumann's build on the Modelship site. The railings were a challenge (several types) and I did some modifications around the paddle boxes based on photographs and added a few Dan buoys on the aft railings. Painted in iterations of 507A and MS2. A grand ship and did great work at Dunkirk, bringing back 2500 men and rescuing 2000 more from another damaged ship. Another ghost ship lacking crew at the moment. Cheers, GrahamB

Hello, another interesting build, this time the 1/350 AJM resin kit of HMS Douglas - a WW1 destroyer leader (Scott Class) that served in WW2 as an escort. It is shown here in 1942-43 after a refit but before the midships 2pdrs (pom-poms) were replaced by 20mm Oerlikons. At first I was not too happy with the kit as the smaller parts had a strange corrugated surface and some were fairly shapeless - definitely not on a par with Combrig. However, as I went along I got to really like the look, especially after the paint job. This might be somewhat of a guess by me as the Western Approaches scheme was indicated as being white and WA Green. I had some problems with this as I was fixed on the idea that WA Green was "supposed" to have a reflectance value of 55% (as per WA Blue) and tonal values in photographs seemed to imply something darker and more saturated. Instead, I used a (Schminke ink) mix of the blue-grey B6 as this has been mentioned a a substitute in the WA scheme. This was before I received the new NARN paints which have the WA Green a darker and more saturated colour than the WA Blueđ€šNever mind. Cheers, GrahamB
