Good work!

Btw. that discussion on underwater hull shading raises again the issue of (re-)defining the style rules - what actually does constitute them, what is and what isn't allowed and how far one can depart from it.
There was a discussion about it some months ago, but I don't think it ended in any definitive results.
And if I may say something about it - personally I'm for relative rigidity of these rules, as my understanding of the spirit of SB is that's a collection (or whatever word could be used here) of ships made in common style (and also with preference for "official" or "standardized" parts).
(But that's just a digression, so if it were to start a heated debate, I suppose it would be better if Admins remove then this post in order to avoid disruption of this fine thread.)

Here is the final drawing in the Dunkerque series, Dunkerque in 1940:

The livery is the dark Atlantic grey sported by both Dunkerque and Strasbourg. There the two ships joined The Force de Raid and comprised the 1ère Division de Ligne (1st Division of the Line). The white stripe on the funnel is a division stripe, Dunkerque received one stripe as the division leader and Strasbourg two.

Dunkerque's AA battery is now complete.

Neither me either. So far, Strasbourg is turning out shipshape.
