In The Navy - Royal Navy Ships GB *** Complete & Archived***

[MarkyM607]

Have one or two candidates, I might even start the Airfix 1:350 Illustrious. I say start as I don't know whether it can be done in the GB's timeframe!.

There is only one way to find out

Does the Airfix RAF rescue launch count???

Hi Paul

I plan to convert HMS Warspite back to her looks at Jutland, the only problem is the kit I intend to use is a mixture of two part build kits, that I picked up on e-bay.

As my intentions are to break up the kits back to their componant parts and throw away the majority of the superstructure, before scratch building it all, are you happy for me to carry on using this GB or should I use the CBK thread?

Regards Splash

Let's keep a thread in this GB area, please, Alan.

I'm still undecided about my choice; I have a few RN types in 1/350, Fearless and Belfast in 1/600, an MTB in 1/72 and (soon to arrive) a Revell (ex Matchbox of course) 1/72 Corvette Platinum Edition....oh and HMS Victory in 1/180

Query: is the MTB outlawed as it is a launch and not a ship?

Heretic! They were the Navy's small ships.

[PaulBradley]

I will, at least, use the GB to start my HMS Iron Duke.
Whether I finish it in time will be seen.

Cool! I think most of us will be pressed for time, so just do what you can! The main thing is to enjoy what you are doing.

[PaulBradley]

Can't recall if I expressed an interest in this GB. Perhaps building a ship might help me rediscover my modelling mojo

Go for it, Toby! What's in your stash?

It'd be tight, but I'd say go for it and have fun!

Sorry, Gadfly, this GB is specifically for Royal Navy craft, so an RAF craft won't fit the parameters. Is there something else in your stash that would suit? The MTB, for example?

True enough; could be a possible then. I hate being spoilt for choice!

For anyone who intends doing a version of the Daring Class Destroyer, these were taken out of a 5th floor window in South Quay Plaza, Docklands this morning during a site inspection
Excuse the quality but I was taking them through a rather dirty set of triple glazed windows with the sun shining on them from an angle!

I'll have a look/fondle/peruse of the kit over the weekend and decide if it's a good idea or lunacy. Or a good lunatic idea!! .
(I did buy the aircraft sprue for this kit separately so I could really fill the deck. Probably wouldn't be accurate but there you go!! )

No I only have one 'boat' in the Stash and its the RAF Launch... No problem you guys enjoy the GB I look forward to seeing the finished results...

Hmmm. Wonder if you can get decals for that big yellow rectangle on the front pointy bit of the ship?
