As I said on Facebook Ratch, lovely build mate - must crack on with mine. What shade of pale blue did you use on the interior?

Thanks mate - my instructions still have the old Airfix paint references but I've just downloaded a conversion chart to Humbrol. Airfix M25 is indeed Humbrol 65!

Is this the recent repop? How are the parts looking? Pretty clean?

Yes, the re-issue. Some cleaning up but nothing excessive - no more than usual.

Yours is a beautiful rendition of this unusual ship, congratulations! I have the old Pyro model of the similar looking USS/CSA Harriet Lane... these transitional designs incorporating both sail and stream power were odd ducks indeed!
