Jack,

 

I just checked in.  It's a very nice build with lots of great detail.  Where did you find your white lettering?  It is very crisp and seems to have no visible backing.  Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Steve. The white lettering are the water slide decals supplied in the kit. Very thin clear backing. I used Microscale Solvaset to get the to lay down tight.

Excellent work. I love the paint. I wish to build this same model as the Reuben James. Thanks for sharing your build.

Why the Reuben James? At least the DE Reuben James.

 USS Reuben James (DD-245)  Clemsen class destroyer,  USS Reuben James (FFG-57) Oliver Hazzard Perry class guided missile frigate or USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort ???

FFG-57 played a prominent role in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising.

DD-245 was the first US ship lost in the Battle of the Atlantic, torpedoed in October 1941.

USS Reuben James (DE-153) Buckley class destroyer escort, just thought this model was a Buckley class and that would be a given. My bad.

[Jack12477]

Sig, the USS England is a Buckley class DE, so you could use it to build the Ruben James.
