This is HMS Rodney built from the Iron Shipwrights 1/350 scale kit ( Commander models)
This is about the only built version of this kit I have ever seen.
I built 15 years ag0 in 1998... way before the internet for me.. ( online in 2003)
armed with a few photos in books and a McGregor 1.96 plan I set forth--modelling was easy and fun back then for me...
no obsessive worries about is it REALLY right...?
( well I did use a WEM Hood Fret and WEM Hood boats.... )
Model still stands up ok today-- but doubtlessly is full of flaws and amalgamated eras....
The only thing that dates it visibly is the 'flat' PE figures...
anyhow-- its the first time I have taken the model out of her case since she went in -- (back the last century!!!)
Looking over it close-up with an Optivisor x 5 is an interesting and scary past-time...LOL
I hope you like her-- she is still on 'front-line' display in our home.
