59North's Modelling Emporium

Studying photos of Canadian Tribal Class destroyers proves they had significantly less portholes along the hull sides than their British counterparts. So I knew I would be filling in roughly half of the portholes molded into the Trumpeter kit. The following is the only easy way I could think of to do it, although I loose all the eyebrows:









I've thought about sending for some PE portholes with the eyebrows, but, the looming Canadian postal strike puts the kybosh on that idea. Who needs eyebrows on a 1mm porthole anyway.

In that scale I think the eyebrows look over scale.

Coming along very nicely and I tend to agree with Splash, porthole "eyebrows" in 1/600th or less are very likely to be overscale in any event.
