PleAse note that the Royal Navy used the Mk.37 with Type 275 radar and it was slightly different looking than the US navy

Like so

Yeah, my advice was to use the updated turret/body part of it, not the ranging radar which was different IIRC.

Many of the beam 40mm mounts have stray white pixels, instead of showing the gray steel on the other side.

Take a look at the plan Paul posted on the old boards. At the front end of the main belt, where you have three grey lines, it shows a boat skeet drawn with broken lines and two ladders leading down to it.

Looking better. A good looking ship no doubt, one of sleekest RN ships of her era (late war, early postwar).
