Have painted up my Coastal force for the south pacific. The Japanese escorts were a challenge as they are not available in 1/300 scale. Buckeye Bob led me to some photos and I now have my force. Found here:

Adding crew really makes a difference to the overall look.

found this site which shows some models of various IJN barges that you may find interesting. If you contact him he may provide further info on those gunboats.

I'm sure watching McHale's Navy will answer all your questions.

Thank you all for the links. I am amazed at your Google fu. Good to see the type C barge had various armaments; will add variety.
Bob, yes I think the figures add a lot and I make every boat a bit different.
Schogun, that was a great show!

Thanks all

Joe
