One of my many projects is an upscale and probable repaint of GPM's USS Ward from 1/200 to 1/72. Because of the size difference and the fact that this will be my first ship I am hesitant to use the usual method of using large flat colored "bands" ofr the hull. So- I am adding the rivited shell plating in order to hide the seams.
My problem is this- I have no resources showing the shell plating expansion of a Wilkes class destroyer. Or any contemporary destroyers for that matter. Does anyone know of any resources that might be available for me? Bear in mind that my knowledge on the subject is limited (and my funds for this even more so ;-) ).
Thanks for all your help people!
