Be watching this one with interest Jeff. Probably showing my age here but I remember going on board HMAS Anzac in the 70s when she visited Townsville and they had an Open to the Public Day. This was near the end of her career when she was a Training Ship and one of the Forward Turrets was removed and a Class Room built over it. From (possibly bad) memory the other RAN Ship that was with her and was also Open to the Public was HMAS Stalwart. May still even have the “Welcome Aboard” Leaflets somewhere …

Couldn’t find one so did it myself.

Apologies if this has been asked before but I did a Search and couldn’t find anything. Does anyone know if there is an Index of the Colour Subjects featured in the Model Enthusiast Column of Air International magazine (originally know as Air Enthusiast, then Air Enthusiast International, and then Air International) ? thanks in Advance.

100 percent now so we’ll be looking for that Build Thread!

Not exactly the same Sprues as the Mistral Fuselage and Intakes are different hence the different Product Numbers for the Mistral and the Vampire.

Did someone say “Manchester Line here!”?

2024 version of the Kruitbosh Poll. The DFK Poll rolls much quicker of the tongue!

I’m guessing a Miles M20 would be allowable?

Don’t how i’ll be placed next year to do anything much but this GB would be pretty much a must for me.

Apologies didn’t see your reply the other night. Yes that’s the one except very much a “new” concept (although he explained it in terms of “logical” development) and nothing in common with the Renowns given the combination of Armament, Armour, and Power/Speed. Quick update : at a big Model Kit Buy, Swop, and Sell Meet this morning I got the kit that I wanted to use as a basis for the 1:600 model that I want to build at a reasonable price so no excuses now for having a go at it.

Fear not about another one as I’ve been gradually selling off my Ships other than 1:600 and 1:350 and have most of the Revell ones still to go. You haven’t heard of, read about, or seen drawings of HMS Incomparable? Wow are you in for a treat when you type it into your favourite Search Engine and see what shows up!

I suppose I should sign up for this one. If tge GB does get up I‘ll have to find the time first and then decide what to do. Thinking nautically at the moment it may be the opportunity to have a go at something like HMS Incomparable in 1:600 seeing I’ve just found what I can use as a hull straight away without too much mucking around.

Why no chance of another kit Jeff?

I’ll be watching this one as I’ve got an Airfix Scharnhorst and Monogram Tirpitz set aside for this very purpose.

Just watched that an hour ago and then came searching here to see if it had been mentioned. Definitely looks like a 1:144 P-8. Probably worth a Thread here on it’s own so people see it instead of being an Easter Egg.
