Hunt Class DE Type 1 - recolor of Lou Coatney model

[waynemac]

This is a re-scaled, re-colored Lou Coatney model of the WWII Hunt Class DE. I pasted the original jpg into Corel Draw, rescaled it to 1/600, re-drew over the jpg, then recolored to match, sort of, an image in Alan Raven's Warships Perspective on British Camo in WWII, volume 2.

I added a few parts, and there were some of the original parts left over, Some, like the searchlight need to be added. Maybe later.

All in all, a fun build. Thanks, Lou.

Nice, Wayne!

I'm glad to see Lou's ships being built and recolored.

Actually, I've done HMS Cotswold a Type 1 in .jpg camouflaged and have it on my webpage, Wayne. Very nice job on yours, btw.

Others there too.

Lou,

I am able to get to most of the models on the link, but not the tribals and Piorun.


BTW, it was an article you wrote for a magazine some 15 or 20 years ago that got me started in this hobby.

Was that in USNI's May-June 2000 Naval History, "Building the Cardstock Fleet," wayne?

Yes, indeed, it was. And a big THANK YOU for getting me started in this hobby.
