To answer your questions Dido is classed as light Cruiser,and Fad was on her during the Arctic runs. I am not that of a perfectionist as to model it as it was at 15.00 on the 14 DEc 1944, but get a close enough representation
Scale Haven't made up my mind yet. Either get the 1/128 Fleetscale which gives a very comprehensive parts pack but no bridge fittings, which means doing a lot of fiddling. A completely empty bridge devoid of evertything would do my head in!!!
OR go for the 1/96 which has the bridge fittings as far as i can tell. As regards other fittings, i found it hard to dechiper what some thing actually are. for example thre are 9 different locker references with no indication of size whatsoever,
