I would just have 2 sets of ships, the 20/30 ship (or even a WW1 ship converted to civilian use) that gets bought for navy use in WW2 and then a war built ship (maybe LL) that joins them for WW2 and then takes over till the 60s/70s ?

That would make 2 ships,
- 20/30s trawler
- replaced with Something Isles-class trawlers like (or anything free on LL or at end of the war).

50m ish length would be the minimum for work in far north with boats a 40mm cast off and 2 .5MGs
Good point. Maybe it could be built in the 1920s, bought for naval use around 1939, and used until the early 50s and then be scrapped?

No just keep posting (unless you want it to be neat but this is a first go so I would just carry on and get as much advice as possible, even from people who really know stuff, unlike me :P )

Here's a new version I made.

Some things still seem pretty weird with it, and the scale seems very wrong (I couldn't fit a lifeboat from one of the parts sheets into here without it looking weird.)

I preferred the smaller version. At the most another 20 pixels (10 feet) would have been enough.
I like it and the concept, I know Denmark had a few similar vessels for Home Guard duties, Finland and Sweden too. Actually one of those ex-Danish fishing craft still serves as a patrol craft in Lithuania.

It's a bit hard to find truly hard numbers since the exact ownership and registration of the ships were a bit fuzzy, but as near as I can tell the RDN has operated 118 fishing vessels from 1942 to 2005 when the last one was transferred Lithuania.

Thanks, and I agree. Does it look okay height-wise?

The built up forecastle and quarterdeck looks a bit odd. Most fishing boats of that size were flush decked. Some had shelters forward and aft, but that's mostly a postwar thing AFAIK.

Okay, thanks for the advice.
