Accurate colour reproductions at full size… not cheap, but if you want the definitive reference!

Fascinating, Matt, thanks for posting!

I found two sets for HMS Surprise for which I have a Mamoli kit (waiting). Fortunately they were on the 1st page of 130(!!) and no search tool I could find. I’ll try later on a real computer, not phone, maybe that’ll work better.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Thanks, John.... the search is on the top right on desktop. It searches all artwork available, so you need to search "XXXX plan" to limit it, but, for example:

https://prints.rmg.co.uk/search?q=ark+r ... pe=product

produces 6 detailed deck plans, and this rather magnificent effort:

Handy if you're building the Airfix kit!

The Ark Royal plan above seems quite expensive… and then you realise it’s 2.8m long and 90cm tall!
