Jon Yes, metal and colored on both sides, very easy to bend. They only need a retouch of white and blue in the edge where you cut them free from the metal trees.

Thank you, BoghieWan! Which kits have you thought about for the Ajax and Achilles? I have followed Faraway’s Graf Spee as well. Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two real nice Flyhawk 1:700, but I kinda want 1:350. Plus, it is a bit early for me to look. I still have the majority of the Graf Spee and then the Exeter to build😄 In 350 I've only found a resin kit. The Iron Shipwrights HMS Ajax. Here is the Iron Shipwrights site page for that kit, and it seems currently available. I've never worked in resin though, so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to assemble them both, they are quite similar anyway. I prefer 1/350). And not really in the mood for resin kits. Maybe somebody will issue a new kit for those, could include parts for both cruisers in the same kit, Marco Edited February 26 by Marco1965 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
