Hi Jim, sorry for the confusion. I was referring to when she got back to Rosyth. As far as I can tell after research she effectively left the Delaware, did some working up the took some American reporters and children back to the UK then was used by the marines as landing craft storage (effectively). Something to do with her Cordite handling being worn out meaning she was unsuitable for D day bombardment duties. This is taken from the book on the ship (very good book for a read). But obviously with you having a relative onboard you will know alot more than me and I would gladly submit to your knowledge. With regards to the kit, the HP models one I am referring to is Royal Sovereign, but as mentioned in her 1943 guise. Hence the issue with the aa as I would hope they have modelled the bridge structure accurately. The increase in aa was noteable and I think quite important given the changes between 1940 and 1943. The bridgework differences I am quite familiar with since I wasted a considerable sum of money trying change the HP models resolution into Ramillies (I'm just not that skillfull haha)
Jim, thanks for the tips, I have seen many if your works online! I will take every opportunity to pick your brains and get tips in future if that's ok with you
I know its not relative to the topic exactly but since your here, how do you choose your colour schemes? I have had several attempts at Malaya, all abortive as i cannot seem to find anything consistent!! Also, what paints do you use haha.
Many thanks guys, should have joined here sooner, could have saved myself alot of money and heartache.
