	ORP Blyskawica
		ORP Blyskawica was one of two British designed and built destroyer leaders delivered to Poland in the years immediately prior to the second world war.
		In 1941 Blyskawica's original main armament and heavy mast were replaced, as the ship was apparently overloaded for open ocean service.
		I bought and built the 43-44 version of Blyskawica, as I was keen to practice disruptive camouflage painting and weathering techniques, prior to completing my build of HMS Victorious (also shown in some of the images as a size comparison).
