This month's masthead photo is a repeat from a few months back. HMS Portchester Castle was a Castle-class corvette launched on 21 June 1943 at Swan Hunter shipyard in Newcastle upon Tyne. She was the only RN ship to be named after Portchester Castle in Hampshire.
On 9 September 1944 Portchester Castle and Helmsdale sank U-484 in the North Atlantic northwest of Ireland. Later, as one of 4 ships in 30th Escort Group under the command of Denys Rayner, Portchester Castle shared in the sinking of U-1200 south of Ireland on 11 November 1944, along with her sister ships Launceston Castle, Pevensey Castle and Kenilworth Castle. She was paid off in 1947.
In 1951 Portchester Castle was employed to represent the fictitious HMS Saltash Castle in the film The Cruel Sea, in which she is shown wearing the pennant number F362, rather than her own K362. In 1955 the ship was also seen in the film The Man Who Never Was.
She was scrapped at Troon on 14 May 1958.
Peter Hall reports great progress on the master pattern for our 1/350 scale kit of this ship. He has completed all the major parts and is working on the details. As soon as the pattern parts are complete he'll work up the dedicated PE set. You can pre-order kit number K3580 now.

PHONING WEM?!
If you need to phone WEM to speak with a live body, remember that our phone hours at the shop are 10AM - 3PM, Monday through Friday. Outside those hours you can always leave a phone message as the answering machine is on 24/7. If you're phoning our U.S. contingent in West Virginia, PLEASE remember that this is a home number and confine your calls to 10AM - 3PM Eastern time. I say this because your friendly webmaster has an extreme dislike for phone calls at 4AM!
PAPER LISTS
Due to increased postage costs, we will no longer automatically include our paper price lists with orders. However, you may still request them, free of charge, by phone, e-mail, or by ordering them direct from the website.
WEM ON FACEBOOK!
That's right, White Ensign Models now has its own Facebook page. Stop over and join us for the latest goings-on, pics, a chat, or to meet some of your fellow modellers. All it takes is a click here.
MODEL COLOURS PAGE
You'll notice there's a Camouflage Schemes & Colours link under Brochure on the main page. Follow the link and you'll find ship-specific lists of Colourcoats you'll need to paint your kits. I've been keeping a file of these over the years as customers phoned or e-mailed to ask what colours to use, and I'll be adding to it from time to time. I have now added hyperlinks to USN camouflage design sheets for those patterns listed on the page.
If you have specific ships, aircraft, or vehicles you'd like to see listed, e-mail me at johnsnyder@onetel.com and we'll see what we can do.

COLOURCOATS NEWS
Now for the not-so-good news: due to price increases on tinlets and raw paint materials from our suppliers, we are forced to increase the price on Colourcoats to £2.50 per tin, including VAT. The increase will go into effect in a few weeks when we begin using the new supply of tins, so order now to take advantage of the present price.
