As I posted some pics on Captain Browns thread, I thought I would start my own thread concerning my own build. After seeing the pictures of her on this forum, I decided to modify my Revell flower kit to resemble cloesly to HMS Campion after her 1942 refit. I liked the idea of the added AA guns on the side, and the colur scheme is distinctive.
