Getting to be a bit of a butterfly Glowworm is quite exacting so this one is for fun (for now). HMS Starling one of the most successful Uboat hunters of WWII.
Speed 19-20 knots
6 4"
4 Twin Bofors
2 20mm cannon
Depth charges by the bucket load.
This is the second build attempt somewhere along the line I typed in the wrong figure and came out with a very odd length hull which I only noticed when I put her next to Glowworm she is much beamier and was one of the first ships in the Royal Navy to have stabilisers. Hopefully this one will end up with a full hull in the end.
Sorry about the messy workspace I envy those of you who work so neatly mine gets scraped off at the end of the day.

Gotta try it sometime...making barrels for it, that is. Actually, I'm going to have to try that using ordinary 26# paper and see how it works...somehow I figure if I tried to roll the barrels using "rolling paper" it's so light and thin I would probably make a fair mess of it for the first hundred attempts...but that's just me and my gorilla fingers. I thought you were talking about using the heavier card the kits are printed on to roll into barrels...those I have never had good luck with, just too thick and the edges usually end up a mess and with a noticeable and distracting ridge.
