Not to hijack this thread, but maybe the Farragut class, or maybe the 16 torpedo tubes ships? Frankly there are so many destroyers which are still missing...

Thanks all.

While I wait (seemingly interminably) on the FDD plans of CL-97 to arrive, I took a swing at some earlier versions of CL-54. I'm planning to also do the 10/44 version with the Measure 32 camouflage.

First in 1942, with an especially difficult Measure 12 (modified) scheme that was very hard to find references for:

After the Mare Island refit, December 1943-January 1944. 40mm Bofors, SC-2 air search set on the foremast, and a revised pilot house structure. The classic Measure 21 all-over navy blue that I love so much!

All of these are excellent drawings, really nice work on the camo schemes, the work involved to make them come out well is well worth it though.

Thanks all.

For reference, all the Atlanta drawings are available here: http://test.shipbucket.com/drawings?cat ... ch=atlanta

Should give you an idea of the power of the new site once it's all categorized and up and running. ;)
