1945 was one of the options I was thinking about so I will probably go with that one, do you know what paint scheme it is? I'm guessing it's a dark blue or something? Also, is there a good drawing of the SC1 air search radar? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that was the radar Swan and Warrego shipped?

Well I've finally had time to finish Warrego, so here she is as she appeared after the war as a hydrographic vessel:

Hmm you may be right, I'm not sure which mount they carried. Is that the Mk3 mount on your HMAS Hawkesbury?

Well, I tried redrawing it, based on various pictures; but Ace has a decent version on the Dutch parts sheet, so I modified that a bit. On the subject of Bofors single mounts, there is real need to get all the various marks properly represented; as also the Oerlikens.
