If it goes on or under the wet stuff and doesn't fly, it's in here.

What scale have you got?

I’m about to start the Tamiya 1/350 HMS George V, I think the kit is almost the same kit.

It is. I'm going to book my seat to watch your performance with this. It is a cracking kit. 👌

Having looked at the difference between the King George V and the Prince of Wales is both ships when young, they had Walrus aircraft catapult midships the King George had hers a/c removed and the small boats moved mid ships where the Walrus was, the main guns are similar but the small guns was updated and had more. I think the Prince of Wales might have painted the wooden deck but you will need to check at the time period you are building.
