Based on Gerome73 original model, 3d updated using SHV model and parts and a lot of details (portholes, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...) and some details from The_Frog, including the scout plane and the reworked library.

Thank you so much!

I've reuploaded this unit with a new library, with specific textures for lookouts\crew members' uniforms (not only gunners as previous). This is a clone of standard lookouts library by The_Frog, but with specific and accurate textures for british crew members from flush_deck:
