Airfix 1/600 HMS Ajax
Initial thoughts.
Simple enough, Ajax steaming in front of what appears to be smoke -- either from a flaming ship or laid as cover. I have seen, in an Airfix book, a print of this showing an aircraft falling in flames. I assume this would be in the Med and not at the River Platte, which I'll be doing. Fortunately there are no other ships in view.
I see a backdrop with smoke and sky, and a base of a semi-active sea, with splashes,
I have the White Ensign PE set for this ship and will use it to add/enhance some of the major features -- crane, catapult, railings, radars, etc. There is more detail on the boxart than in the kit.
I really should save this for the Ship GB, but really wanted to do something else for that.
Thoughts and suggestions are welcome !!
