I remember this kit from when I was a a kid... the boxart painting had an unusual bright yellow sky, as I recall. I built the companion Airfix H.M.S. Amazon, but when I returned to the toy shop for Daring, it was gone. Then I discovered the Revell 1/720 series and that was "my" scale from then on... Anyway, it is enjoyable seeing this old classic actually built up!

Nicely done, Ratch. Daring was certainly a handsome vessel.
