Roger,
It is an excellent model - one of the best I have seen.
Ships of this period are fascinating - still a lot of carryover from the sailing navy and just a hint of things to come. The only ship of this period I have visited is the IJN Mikasa in Yokosuka, Japan. It was built in England and is a bit more advanced than the Anson (enclosed turrets), but the layout is about the same. Wooden decks and open bridge. A compass and binoculars were all the bridge equipment available. Below was the wireless room - the latest high tech wonder!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
