These photographs depicted three different classes of destroyers painted in Spanish Civil War Neutrality Patrol Colors. For the 1250 Page May Mystery Model(s) - Can you - (1)- Name the three classes depicted; (2)- Identify the Nickname of the three classes; (3)- Name the manufacturer of the models. Please post all answers to the message board. It took Kevin Stewart two stabs but he identified all three requirements. He quickly identified the classes and nickname but it took two efforts to pin down the manufacturer, Clydeside. Here is the response from David Willcocks, who sent in the photographs.

"Nice stab. On a visit to Bill Gilpin a few weeks ago I obtained a number of pre-production casting and put them together using photos and pot luck and still managed a couple of glaring mistake on assembly and so do not truly represent the actual ships. Six kits will be issued and available in the next couple of weeks ie;
