Orion Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Modelers, This carrier is not yet available. But it would be a nice 1/350 model. Revell or Airfix! Enjoy. Regards, Orion Edited May 21, 2016 by Orion 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Rusty B, my Dad's last ship in 1969. That would tempt me away from the Aircraft section for a while. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 My old ship, went to Hong Kong in 1967 for the "Paper Tiger" riots. But why 1984? She'd been decommissioned and scrapped by then. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I remember looking around Bulwark when I was still at school (1960's) when she was in Liverpool, I could not get over how thin and flimsy the sides of helicopters felt. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yes, Bulwark, Albion and Centaur were sister ships; although they all changed in appearance during their service lives as refits and modifications were done. In fact, up to the point of launch, even Hermes was a sister ship; however, by the time she went for fitting out the technologies had changed, plus lessons learned from WW2 and Korea, produced a completely different looking flight deck and Island structure.

Whitewolf Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Another possible subject for Orange Hobby in 1/700 but I can'tell honestly see anybody doing her in 1/350. They haven'the bothered to do Ark Royal IV yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
