 Hi Kioshi
 Looking better every time I see your work, as an aside the camouflage on ships in the time went below the waterline, there was no fixed demarcation as the black line or colour change gave  a way of measuring distance to a U Boat so sailing with the camo scheme in the water is correct  you may be sailing light anyway
keep up the excellent work

Hi Pegasus;

Thank you for your kind advice,useful information and the encouragement.
Everything on my committing to the sailing quality will be made clear after
coming April through late May during when several tests will be done.
Even now I am satisfied 85 % with the present sailing quality.
I am intending to make it over 90% which is the qualified level for me. :D :grin1:

Hi Ron;
I have understood the historical background of the waterline set along the hull.
The U boats were so terrific threat to RN ships to such an extent that even
water lines had to be disguised ingeniously....
Thank you for your encouragement as usual.
