1/600 HMS Exeter (Frog)
This build of the HMS Exeter from an ancient Frog kit, along with the Hero Class destroyer of same scale steaming alongside, was inspired by the 1977 book "HMS Exter at the Battle of River Platte" by Lt. R. Atwill RN (Ret.) which revealed in excruciating detail the shell and splinter damage suffered by Exeter from misses and near misses of the German Navy pocket battleship Graf Spee. I have seen old photographs of various paint schemes for HMS Exeter. This, perhaps, is a fanciful version since all I've ever been able to get ahold of are old black and white images.
