I�m finding this out myself now. Britain arguably made the best predreadnought battleships, and built the largest empire in history policed by these black, buff, white and blue ships. So, I�m surprised to discover that there are essentially zero plastic kits of British predreadnoughts, beyond the Lord Nelson class - nice ships but never wore the Victorian blue and buff colour scheme, and entered service after HMS Dreadnought. What I really want is a plastic kit of HMS Canopus, AIUI the last class to wear the Victorian colours.
