Pressed the wrong key.... Could she be camouflaged in Navy Blue, the whole ship, or? Trying to figure out if she's dressed in Measure 22 camouflage or if it's something else...

Must have started out in MS 21 in '42, then MS 22 in '43 it seems...

How far did you get with this one, Jan?

Probably got the plastic off the box. Doesn't White Ensign make the correct ship camo colors?

Well it is Jan, we're not entirely sure he knows how to take the wrapping off the box. Just likes looking at the picture on it...
