    With regards to : "HMS Torquay RN Rothesay-class Frigate Modern 1/500" Torquay was Whitby Class.

    One Photo of one Box in one Location. Similar to Schrödinger's Cat how do you know for sure there aren't any more in other Boxes in other Locations?

    Aw thank-you so much Jeff. Much appreciated but it must be Me thanking you for such a magnificent and entertaining build. It certainly gives me some motivation to hurry up and get back to trying to move on with my HMS Tiger. Although if my work in progress photos accidently give others great ideas like this then it is great compensation for me being distracted and never being able to finish anything. And if truth be told I'm distracted again not by the already mentioned possibility of converting the Academy ex-Otaki 1:600 USS Enterprise to an America or Kitty Hawk but by using the long-long leftovers of two Airfix Repulses (from making a short-short "R" Class Battleship - and I know of your preference to do that using an Airfix Warspite similar to that one in that 1:350 Thread) to make the ultimate "Never Was but so easily (well maybe not SO easily given the issues with 18 inch guns let alone 20 inch guns!) could Have Been" HMS Incomparable. Thanks again and more power to you.

    You would have to ask Greg Meggs what he may have used as the basis of his Master. For example from (bad) memory I thought Graeme told me Greg had used the Frog Mirage as the basis for his High Planes Mirage family Master so there is always the chance he may have used the Frog Beaufighter as the basis for the Beaufighter family Master. Rabbit Ears could of course cross kit the High Planes kit with a Frog Beaufighter and that should qualify for another entry from him into this GB. Yeah I know Bunny Leader I’ll get back in my box and contemplate how to make that HMS Incomparable from two Airfix Repulses left over from making one Royal Sovereign Battleship instead of resurrecting the “Frog” Lincoln.

    Fixed. (Well sort of in an old skool way)

    Haven’t you heard you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. When Ey were Lad “AI” used to mean “Altogether Idiot”.

    Pretty sure someone with the skills in photoshop and way too much time on their hands will shortly rectify that.

    Airfix announcement this morning that the Iron Duke kit is to be reissued in the “Vintage Classics” Range.
  9. Rob S
    Excellent work. Just wondering though how much more different she (it?) would look from the Iron Duke if each funnel was like either Tigers or like the original Queen Elizabeths. I always thought Iron Duke / Erin etc ‘s funnels looked at bit anaemic.

    Great work Jeff. i must remember to visit more ofter rather than just once a month let alone find the time to get back to my Tiger conversion especially seeing you so kindly mentioned it.

    Have kits of each in 1:144, 1:100, and 1:72. For this GB probably the one off CFM-56 707 in 1:144 would be the subject.
  12. Rob S
    Usually that’s ESCI decals.
  13. Rob S
    Unless like Murray Walker I am completely mistaken the Frog boxing of the Hasegawa Neptune had decals for a Kon Marine aircraft (not sure if it’s exactly the same as the Revell decals but can check) and a Number 10 Squadron RAAF aircraft when they were based at RAAF Garbutt in Townsville Queensland. As mentioned I can check as I have a Frog Neptune … somewhere.
  14. Rob S
    You have not got too many Frog kits!
  15. Rob S
    Yes I knew about it at the time and the update / review ten years later I was just wondering how many others knew of it either at the time/s or later.

    何を言っているのか分かりません！

    Missed this one too. Please sign me up.
  18. Rob S
    Must admit I haven’t been paying much attention but how on Earth did I miss this? must dig out my “Project Cancelled” Book and select something. Please sign me up!
  19. Rob S
    As per the Title.
  20. Rob S
    Ditto the last bit for anyone in Australia as I have a number of excess Frog decals people can have if they need them. Looking forward to digging out the Lincoln and dusting it off to try and finish it.
  21. Rob S
    Not yet.

    Victoriious’ looks a bit anaemic. Melbourne’s was a bit mire substantial :
  23. Rob S
    Fixed! Nice work. (But needs extensions to the Catapults like on HMAS Melbourne.)

    Pretty sure it’s even older than you think as it’s actually an original Aurora kit and Monogram just inherited it with the other Aurora kits they got (apart from the ones that were destroyed in that Train crash or however the story goes). In 1:400 scale a much better USS Enterprise was the Otaki kit. Otaki also produced separate 1:400 Aircraft sets so these - if you can get a hold if them - should be worth getting if you stay in this scale. Otherwise probably better to flog it off to someone who loves 1:400 and put the money towards buying the Tamiya 1:350 kit and aircraft sets.

    Just updating the Thread and can’t believe a year and a half has flown by. OK so a recent trip to Officeworks and a very helpful Photocopy/Scanning Attendant resulted in the 1:800 deck being scanned top and bottom and then being resized and sent to their A2 Size Printer and wullah! One piece 1:600 scale prints of the USS America that I can overlay the USS Enterprise kit and clearly see the differences rather than stuff around with cut and pasted prints from my A4 Printer. So next step will be to find the time and the courage to cut some rather expensive plastic.
