Very nice work man! Great job on scaling down the 1/600 deck too. It looks seamless now! Are you going to add a hangar deck or is everything glued already?

Hi, here is my 1/700 project - HMS Victorious in 1965 build.

It's a build based on 1/700 Aoshima's WII Victorious + Airfix's 1/600 1958 Victorious(Island and Deck) with lots of scratchbuilt parts. It's 70% done since project started 8 months ago

Best,

1) HMS Intrepid/Victorious. Really need a British aircraft carrier
2) KM Graf Zeppelin. It was mostly built, so it's not a complete what-if!
3) IJN Taiho
4) USS Midway, as built.
4) HMS Vanguard (Oh, I suppose a Nelson would be acceptable. . .)

HMS ARK ROYAL

HMS VICTORIOUS + SWORDFISH!

HMS RENOWN - Already in 1/700 but this is about 1/350 right?

HMS SUFFOLK

HMS AJAX

TRIBAL CLASS DESTROYER - COSSACK?

My TOP 5:


1. USS West Virginia - USS Tennessee - USS California - 1944/45 fit.
2. Baltimore Class (CA-68)
3. USS Long Beach (CGN-9)
4. HMS Illustrious or HMS Victorious
5. CA Bolzano or Trento Class

1) WWII RN County class cruiser (preferably HMS Dorsetshire or Norfolk, but any County will do--early-mid war)
2) WWII RN HMS Illustrious or Victorious aircraft carrier (early-mid war)
3) WWII RN Town class cruiser (early-mid war)

Always a pleasure to see these kits built.

Cheers,

Rob

Excellent work to cut the kitted full-hulls to waterline models. White Ensign Models has 1/600 PE for the Airfix series. For the type 965 radars, instead use WEM's "1/700" PE, which in fact measures very close to 1/600.
