Has anyone ever built a county class destroyer from the 60s like antirm, glamorgan, fife?
Just about to start my first scratchbuild on hms fife in 1/96 as built 1966
Got a few photos but you can never have too many, also i am sure i saw glamorgan in a model mag a few years ago, would be nice to get hold of the mag.

I will prowl my albums this weekend Rob, Kent was our squadron flagship when we went to South America in 1979 and I am sure I must have photographed her. Good look with the build!

Neil McCart is due to publish a book: County-Class Destroyers 1962-1985, ISBN 1901225097. It's been listed as "upcoming" for some time, however.

I have all of Neil McCart's other warship books, and they are an excellent source of operational histories and photographs. They were being published every year or so until 2005 but seem to have slowed of late.

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Daring-Class Destroyers 1952-1969. Like County-Class Destroyers 1962-1985, this will be the first ever book on the subject (as far as I know).
