oh no rush. I've always been intrigued by your models, however without good pictures of the completed models and WIP pics, I've been reluctant to try one. I'm excited about this one.

OK, JL, I think this may be the final copy, and I've got just the one copy, which will be a little larger under papermodeler.com's tight kb image limit.

The more-kb original is (still free) on my CoatneyHistory webpage, of course.

By the way, here are some of the Royal Navy's Norway April 1940 adversaries ... and allies ... I've done. Hmm ... They didn't come up.

We'll try AGAIN.

I have been deterred from building Hardy and the H-class by their numbers, but I have recently discovered ... in my research for my new free print and play boardgame 9Apr40: Norge angrepet! ... that leader Hardy an Hunter, et al were only 5 ships ... assailing the *10* German destroyers in Narvik Fjord. Nelson would have approved, although Warburton-Lee paid for his audacity with his life ... albeit garnering a posthumous Victoria Cross.
