Can I ask, where did you get the replacement 1/700 scale aircraft from?

The kit will be available again in the summer, when Chris built the model the extra aircraft sets weren't available, but are now.

Hi, just about to purchase the ark from Starling,please could you advise as to the correct overall RN Grey colour code and manufacturer and would you sugest brush or spray aplication     Thank You   ,Charlie Leaver.

Look on Sovereign Hobbies for the correct paints.  There is another thread running in which the Ark's camouflage schemes are discussed, in which Jamie of SH describes which paints to go for.

The "other thread running" discusses the colour schemes of the Second World War ARK ROYAL, not the ship represented in the Atlantic Models kit.

There are paint recommendations in the instructions for the Sovereign Hobbies Colourcoats brand Charlie.

Hi Chris 

Great work,i am just starting the ark royal build and found when i was pairing down the hull that is has slight banana bend, did you experience this and if so was it detrimental to the build?

hi 

    No my hull was straight,you need to straighten the hull ,it will become noticeable at the end of the build,you need the submerge the hull in hot water and apply pressure to straighten it out ,this might take a couple of goes.
