Well.. my 1/350 USS Oregon is now finished other than final rigging bits--I have a number of new projects on the go-- BUT... ...a chance conversation with an elderly neighbour brought about the info that he served on Fairmile D 368 in the med during WW2--( he had previously kept THAT snippet quiet!!) I have the excellent WEM 1/350 kit--now I wish to build the model to represent the vessel he served on--not to actually give the finished model to him--I do not believe he is THAT keen--but just as an act of good relations twixt neighbours and of todays generation respecting the deed's of previous generations. He has however ...borrowed my Lambert AOTS on the Fairmile D... so I am left a little research-material-less....!! I wish to research the colour scheme of Fairmile D 368( light blue?) and any significant differences between the excellent little resin kit from WEM and No 368 any knowledgable Coastal Forces chaps out there? cheers JIM BAUMANN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From Fred and Diana Subject Apollo plans and photos Thank you all for the response, I would like to hear from David Hathaway cerning on HMCS Rainbow.
