   Nice one Neil,
   Welcome aboard👍
   Attached pics taken in Malta show her battle damage from bomb splinters plugged with chunks of wood. Earned her the second nickname of HMS Porcupine!😮
   Cheers, Doug 😎

   That's nice, 'Penelope', light cruiser 'Arethusa' class . Lots of action on the Norwegian convoys and then Mediterranean. She was holed so many time that she was nicknamed HMS Pepperpot!
   Lovely model nevertheless.
