Hi Andy, Very nice paint job on the camouflage, must've been tricky to mask

Hi Andy Thanks for your comments. The god send here is that the camo is set out as a set of admiralty instructions with majority being straight lines and some curves in places although some artistic licence was allowed the basic colour/shapes of sections were adhered too. A lot more complicated than say the Bismark Baltic stripes but if you want to see weird camo check out some of the Japanes navy's late war camo two weird greens, I have added a link here scroll down to the JIN Aircraft carrier Zuikaku: https://www.whiteensignm...olours/20/#.UlCkUtBwaUk
Its best to approach the masking by doing sections at a time and working back along the hull, using 40mm tape is the trick here as you can draw with a pencil the shapes then trim back with a fresh sharp blade but taking care not to cut into the paint just the tape. Sound harder than it is and with practice not the twitchy sphincter   job you may think it is. Hope this helps but I can see I may need to do a know how on it at some point regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Looks like White Ensign are working on a PE set for this kit  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Looking great Andy. I heard WEM are planning the etch release for the Telford Show, plus a resin correction for the funnels etc. But my experience of WEM and their promised releases recently has not been particularly good.
