Thank you kindly!
I've really enjoyed this build, and it's been nice to add a few embellishments to an old kit and make a difference to the finished article
Best wishes

Not to take away from your build in any respect, but this is one of the WW2 era ships I really wish had been given the same up-to-date treatment as the Trumpeter 1/350 Liberty ship. This and a T2 tanker.

No worries John, I'd love to see the same; especially the T2 as I believe that my father sailed to Galveston and back on one in the late 40's

Lovely stuff, you have made a great job of this old kit. The etch rails really brought it up a couple of levels. Well done.
