The beuty of the WWII era ships lives in their camoflage patterns. It can turn ugly and everyday looking ships into reall stunning lookers, and when applied to ships with allready great figure (such as most USN cruisers) it just pure eye-candy.

Maybe not, but having them as bright spots on the dull finish looks wrong.

And an interesting note (at least for measure 32):

http://www.shipcamouflage.com/measure_32.htm
Quote:
All bright or shiny objects, no matter how insignificant, shall be painted, covered, or removed.

Glass windows shall be covered or removed, especially during the day in sunny weather, and at night when anticipating searchlight discovery. Insofar as conditions permit, similar precautions shall be taken on airport lenses.
Guess I should have removed the blue windows!

Superb drawing Ian. This, and the CL 40 Brooklin thread both are stunning.
