I see they also do some other ones in different scales including a 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth and/or HMS Prince of Wales.  Very enticing.

Yikes.  They look ok from a distance, but when you get up close you can really see the individual layers, and some squigglies that have been left behind in places.  It would be a pig of a job to fill and smooth out all that.  Caveat emptor.

If i bought one of these, it would almost guarantee Airfix announcing one.

Yes,  close in views show a lot that does not match the actual ship in detail.  The funnel is especially wrong  and the island appears to be too short, more to the size of the ships pre-rebuild.

The finish is too ropey for my liking and are only a passing resemblance to the real things.
