Hello everybody, I thought you might like to see my model of HMS Lion which I completed recently.

I built it from the Combrig kit but made additions to give the ship its appearance at the end of the first world war.

4 inch AA guns and the Sopwith aircraft are from AJM, the secondary barrels are master 6 inch (slightly inaccurate I know, but they are about the right size!) the turrets were designed by my good friends in the IPMS battleship special interest group, Nigel and Martyn. The bridge additions were made with plastic and brass rod and aluminium sheet and the Carley floats are from L’Arsenal and Micro master. The Searchlight Towers came from sprue runners and also some leftover Tamiya jagdpanther exhaust covers - never throw anything away!

I hope you like it.
Tally Ho!
Jonathan
