You'll find the port side pattern for the Abercrombie in Volume 4 of Alan Raven's series on Royal Navy camouflage. It'll also give you the correct colours. As you've probably guessed, although the shape of the colour panels on the Morskie illustration seem accurate, the colours were filled in by someone who had apparently "enhanced his mental state with naughty chemical substances!!" There is also a mid tone panel about half way along the Morskie diagram which is absent on the Raven one. A photo (I beleive it's on Steel Navy) ties in better with the Morskie diagram. Regards, and happy modelling, David Griffith. PS I'll have to pick up my Abercrombie again now that I've stripped the incorrect paint off it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From paulship37@aol.com Subject Interesting items on eBay I saw these items for sale at eBay, Title of item GERMAN WARSHIPS 1815-1945 VOL1 BATTLESHIPS / CRUISERS Price Currently GBP 9.990000 http//cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?RedirectEnter&partner=777701&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi%2Eebay%2Ecom%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI%2Edll%3FViewItem%26item%3D4209686835%26category%3D64304%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3AEF%3AUS%3A1 Title of item GERMAN WARSHIPS 1815-1945 VOL2 U-BOATS MINE WARFARE VES Price Starts at GBP 9.990000 http//cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?RedirectEnter&partner=777701&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi%2Eebay%2Ecom%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI%2Edll%3FViewItem%26item%3D4209684183%26category%3D64304%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3AEF%3AUS%3A1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the SMML site for the List Rules, Backissues, Member's models & reference pictures at http//smmlonline.com Check out the APMA site for an index of ship articles in the Reference section at http//apma.org.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Volume
