Almirante Grau and Coronel Bolognesi

Spot the difference!

I made up for lost time today and converted two Nitaka class protected cruisers to make the Peruvian Almirante Grau and Coronel Bolognesi. I didn't use the Sentinel class cruiser models that I thought I was going to convert, as on closer inspection, the Nitaka was a far better match once the forward sponson gun mountings were removed and the funnels repositioned. I think they came out quite well in the end and are not far off the actual scout cruisers in size, shape and profile.
