Hannants now have it listed at £50! I think £35 would be about right, given that you can now pick up Revell's 1/350 Bismark for around that figure. Hugh

What scale is this one? Hugh

Phil, You might find this thread useful - http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewt...f=47&t=6855 Hugh

No idea as to how these conversions actually compare with something like those offerings from WEM, but at least it's a starting point! http://smmlonline.com/articles/royal_navy_paints.html Hugh

Well if it comes about, I think this would be the first 1/350 injection-moulded kit of a serving RN vessel ever! Oh, and the old 1/600 Warspite & Iron Duke were also on the Hornby/Airfix stand, so it looks like they'll be re-released in 2009 too. Hugh

There you go - Slaters Mekpak is what you need. http://www.slatersplastikard.com/7mm%20Pro...rs%20mekpak.htm Hugh

You could try here - A 12 part video series recompiled on to 5 DVDs. http://website.lineone.net/~rhaywood/warhist.html Not ship-specific, but I'll bet the ships you list get a mention somewhere. Hugh

Piccs of Trumpeter's Repulse & Prinz Eugen can be found here - sorry about the long linky! http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl...%3D9ba%26sa%3DX Hugh

Agreed! Repulse and Prinz Eugen'll be my only outlays this year. Not bothered about anything else. Hugh

Glad you found it useful. Here's another tome - don't be put off by the title - it describes surface ship colours too, and is well worth a download. http://www.rokket.biz/models/modelsweb/rok...557/paint.shtml Hugh
