Terry1954 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just found this. Flyhawk 1/700 HMS Illustrious. Looks like its also in The Rumourmonger thread, just thought I'd post it here also! https://www.scalemates.com/kits/flyhawk-model-fh1116-hms-illustrious-1940--1286394 Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickrd Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I hope they get the radar fit correct before they finalise things. The only radar on Illustrious 1940 - early 1941 was the Type 79 (or 279 - references vary as to the exact set): 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hewitt Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Yes it is tiny and they went to war in it as well,I bought this version of Victory produce by Meridian 1/700 scale Trafalgar ships ,some time ago June 2019 and only finished it in April this year to found out that Five Star are release a better detailed kit.Anyway ,just to get an idea who small the hull is ,here is the one I started and finished.

True, but I hate to see modelers being mislead. There were indications that they were also thinking, erroneously, of featuring the Type 282 on the pom pom directors. Anyhow, Flyhawk have now been in touch with me and I have given them the necessary advice. I hope they follow it.

I just bought one for reasons I shall attempt coalesce and articulate at some later date. And juxtaposed next to KGV class battleship in same scale. Wow. I've been on HMS Victory (as one should) and it's not a small sailing ship - but the difference here is astounding. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
