Holy smokes, Geoff....where do you keep coming up with these awesome links !?!

Mind you, you'd need to win a lottery to afford some of that stuff, but a 72nd scale Flower would be an awesome sight, all decked out with these aftermarket goodies. Would be a real nice addition to my local Navy Club !

It would also be fun to update a Flower into a modern day Corvette.....

Any word on where the 350th scale fireflies and sea furys came from ? Or that Karel Doorman kit ? Maybe it's scratchbuilt ?

On second glance, it looks like they're all Fireflies......

The Karel Doorman will be 1/400 scale. Its actually a conversion set for the Heller Arromanche kit normally sold with the kit (which are hard to find at the moment). I imagine the airgroup are resin and came with the conversion. Its from a Dutch IPMS group i think as they had them at Telford last year at £80 each.

Thanks for the info.....80 pounds sounds a little steep for me !

I've also heard that groups like WEM and Gold Medal are now refusing to ship to Canada, as our disgruntled Customs 'officers' are holding up everything.....

If you still want it, I think it's for sale here, though I'm not entirely sure it's the same kit. The man who produces the conversion set doesn't seem to have his own website (but I did find an e-mail address).

I checked with my original photos (at higher resolution), can't really see, but I do think there are some Sea Furies on that deck.

Cool link Hobbes, thanks !
Too bad there's no English in sight, tho.....I may be persuaded to order a few bits n' bobs !

Cheers !

I'll be happy to translate...

Okay....those things that look like books, near the bottom of the page. There's the Invinceable very last. It says something that looks like 400 scale...is it a kit ?

TIA
