    Well this youtube video is just ideal for you then 🙂 (Best pull back the volume a wee bit)

    Copy the link https://youtu.be/bKaVhXn49xY (get it via Share, then cut'npaste it) then plug it into your favourite YouTube downloader program. Most browsers have adds on/extensions tools available for the job. https://www.wikihow.com/Download-YouTube-Videos-in-Chrome will help

    There is a Billings kit of the Andrea Gail from the film The Perfect Storm http://www.billingboats.com/46/16/boats/discontinued-models/P-bb526-andrea-gail.html - discontinued, but there are usually some found on ebay

    They tend to bleach out with continual exposure to daylight, so pick anything approximate!

    Maybe of use to somebody - there is an Android app Hobby Color Converter available to "Find color equivalences between Tamiya, Revell, Humbrol, Vallejo, Gunze Sangyo, Citadel, Testors, AK Interactive, Ammo Mig and Federal Standard paints. This application helps you to find equivalences between colors of different brand paints used in model kits, dioramas and historical or fantasy miniature painting. It also is useful as a complete color chart." In the Play Store

    Flickr should be improving as Yahoo is elbowed out and Smugmug introduce their changes - ie the pending new log in. Note though, the FREE account limit of 1000 images kicks in very shortly.

    There is a Revell kit in 1:700, #05012. One on ebay at present in France at ~£33 quid at present (inc postage) so pretty pricey, no bids yet. eBay item number: 183354315533 ps And a Pit Road kit - Sold Out - but details here https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10019205

    Always fancied this one - or maybe just the section with the bridge/accomodation, but too much like the real thing. Taking me way back to college days and Naval Architecture ... intercostal beams, etc, etc - shudder!!

    I suspect a LOT of their models are in storage. Was the QE2 not a tank test model - rather than display?

    Indeed, the model displays in the Clyde Room, while in the Transport Museum was in it's previous home in Kelvin Hall, were FAR superior.

    What about Revell's Aida (AIDAblu, AIDAsol, AIDAmar, or AIDAstella) cruise liner? Their modern design and livery will contrast against the Cunard elegance! https://www.revell.de/en/products/model-building/ships/civilian-ships/id/05230.html.

    Too elaborate for my taste, I think the simpler the better, especially for modern vessels. I have some 'plain' brushed aluminium stand offs, from ebay for about £1.50 each, and just cut a slot to suit the keel size. Available in different diameters & heights, colours, etc

    Instruction sheet http://manuals.hobbico.com/rvl/80-5812.pdf [Lots of Revell's instruction leaflet pdf downloads are here https://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html, search on the kit number] And looking for the decals - Kingkit sold me the kit without them - for the Revell ETV Kustwacht Waker (Netherlands coast guard vessel in 1:200) kit #05240. Anybody print them for us, if I scale and tidy up the images above, thanks in advance

    Sure I've seen one of the manufacturers with generic 1:400 'plain' deck sheeting? (First search result on ebay attached, item#112413436704) ps Remember to use the off cuts and centre cut out pieces from the deck kit ... pps He's had more ships than Cunard:-)

    No rigging? eg

    Wish they'd re-issue the PE kit (# 00717) for this kit - everybody is hunting for it.
