Lou Coatney’s HMS Cotswold, Hunt Type I
Dear All, this is the HMS Cotswold, Hunt Type I by Lou Coatney in 1/400. Very nice model. Easy to build yet accurate. I wanted one Hunt to be able to finish in relatively short time. This is it, I just added minor details like the boats, but failed to include a chaser 2-pounder gun in the bow. In the last picture it is escorting some MTB/PTs of my design. Happy modeling.
ps: Thank you Lou! |

Thank you Tim and George. As you know Lou has a series of simple models that look very nice and with a lot of possibilities to add details. Some of his hunt may escort your Dido (it may fit in a ledger page to be enlarged to 160%) or battle your Shiratsuyu.

Pablo's beautiful Cotswold
WOW, Pablo! You certainly do beautiful work.
And love her escorting the MTBs. May I post your photos on my webpage? I've done the Hunt 2s - RNoMS Arendal is there on my page - and have wanted to do the 3s ... which have TORPEDOES. Thank you for rewarding my work with your beautiful work. https://www.coatneyhistory.com/L54HMSCotswold.jpg |

And thank you, it was a very rewarding model to build. A one pager, but accurate, and plenty of room for additions! |

Pablo, for your coastal actions many Type 1s had anti-S-boot 40mm bow chasers on the very tip of their prows. That upside down teardrop on the plan is what that is about - the gun deck - although you'll have to craft your own 40mm ... and the deck should be absolutely horizontal.
Free Cardstock Paper Model World War 2/II Warships I assume it was a rapid-firing Bofors, not the 2-pdr 40mm anti-tank gun on the early war British tanks (from the A10s to the Valentines). Again, GREAT job, and tusen takk for your skill! |

Thank you Lou.
I think they also used the automatic, not the hand loading, QF 2-pounder, 40mm, naval gun as well. |
