Corona Virus Project 2d Completed: The Missing USN Midway Cruisers (CA, LC, LC-AA)

Ahead of the planned painting order the CA, CL and CL-AAs of the USN were dispatched across the painting tray. A whim of the painter, no more, no less, In the "murky" late night hours, well past midnight, they [the outstanding USN cruisers of TF 8, TF 16 and TF 17] were finished - huzzah (see below, admittedly not all sailing in the same direction which s rather worrying given the tight formation they are in):

In the better light of day they can be seen sailing (all in the same direction this time) on the Pacific Ocean (see below, I do like the slightly shiny look and feel to the Satin Gloss that "suits" the water and has a slight retro feel to it):

I know they are begging for some close-ups .. watch this space! Next: Back to the schedule and Corona Virus Project 2c and the Midway/Coral Sea USN Destroyers is up on eh painting blocks.
