RAF Bloodhound got navalised early on (Sea Slug in RN use) but Seacat didn't see service until late 50's. I wanted Musketeer to be as she was during her escort of Vanguard and Victorious during the last Empire Cruise (1948) but couldn't back-date her fit wise. So her colors are right but fit isn't...!

None of them lasted past the late 60's. They were all transferred to other countries (namely Turkey) by the early 70's. The warshots blue wiht red tops. The scratching using balsa wood is really easy. You cut it to the shape you need and then just soak it in sanding sealer or gap filling primer. I'm going to do a 350th scale California in balsa as soon as I finish all my blasted braile scale ships...

Cheers,


Don
