After the Mahan, the Dunlap. The next will be the Cassin:

In 1938:


In 1941:


In 1942:


In 1943:


In 1944:

For the most part, these seem quite well executed. But I think you ought to shade the (not sure the right term) 'structural lines' or 'crease lines' according to the local camouflage. Look, for instance, at the dark gray lines on the forward 5/38 mounts when colored in dark blue (1941-1943). Really, these dark grays should be much darker blues. Likewise with the ladders.

Thank you for the feedback.

I think you are doing good work and I'm especially glad to see someone working on real life USN ships.

That said, there are areas that need work, such as the camouflage coloration (as erik_t points out), and also I'm not sure you are getting the radar fit and specific gun types correct on these ships. For instance you have the YE homing beacon on the masthead of the later ships, when these were not (to my knowledge) fitted to these ships. If you need help identifying radar and guns please PM me.

Again, I'm also not sure why my name is in the credits -- I don't recognize the hull you are using and I think you shouldn't try to copy hulls for these ships.

Thank you! For me, is an extension of my work at Brazilian Navy ships that were based on Mahan. It's a tribute for our allied at WW2. We sent troops, a complete infantry division, to fight in Italy side by side with American forces.
I'm using photographs as patern with some plans. I'll send the photos to you.
They were based in the Farragut hull as the original thing.

Thank you for all your comments. I'll correct them soon. Now, I have an advanced Cassin drawn to close the Mahan serie.

Cheers

Pepe

Done!
