Hi Bob!

Again another neat camouflage scheme on your builds!
It is very sharp and good looking, the rest is your usual level (very good)!
I think that (IMHO) it should need a little bigger base... it is kind of suffocated in it
Still, a top notch work there

Keep up the good work
Cheers,
Rui

Thanks for the nice compliments! I agree with you Rui. I did squeeze it onto the base. I was just lazy and didn't want to do a simulated water base!

Another very nice model. RN destroyers might not have been as good on paper as some other nations, but they topped the charts in the looks department. Glad to see this one doesn't perpetuate they myth that J/K class ships after turret couldn't fire straight aft.
