The 2nd of the early war treaty destroyers reworked by Gerry is the Gridley.
this is part of a 4 ship bunch free on ecardmodels. I picked the Gridley in her Guadalcanal colors and mid war revisions. She kept her 16 torpedo tubes, had 20mm installed. She retained her open 5" mounts aft and basic fire control.

Another beautiful job on my favorite warships: the Treaty destroyers.

Gridley and sisters were very distinctive with those prominent boiler trunks and all those torpedo tubes.

Looks like you have fully recovered your fine motor skills.

I hope there will be more in this series.

A very fine build, fine justice to the subject.

Excellent designer, resizer, and modeler.
I am so glad that Clifton filled the void of treaty destroyers.
Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring.
