Academy

[NARSES2]

Alas it seems that rather than doing a 1940 HMS Warspite, its going to be a mid-30s fit ?

If it sells they'l bring out the 1940's fit Nev. I quite like these pre-war fits. A 1920's HMS Hood is far better looking in my view.

I love the idea of the QE....early fit is best.....and mine'll be a member of the Air Battle Fleet

Yeah, the rebuilt QEs are hideous compared to the original design.

Yeah, the rebuilt QEs are hideous compared to the original design.

I disagree. They were beauty queens

[pyro-manic]

They were still attractive, but nowhere near as gorgeous as the original fit. Same with the Renown - she was given a similar rebuild, and looked good, but not as good as the original.

My apologies if this is old news, but it appears that the modeling gods have heard our prayers again, Academy are releasing a 1/35 Ontos!

Wow!! Definitely want one of those CV-9040s!!!  I may have an idea or two.

Yeah! Australian CV90s!  Germany should have bought those as well. Trade 'em with the Swedish for some Leopards. Would've been cheap, fast and sensible.

Hope Academy will also do other versions, especially the up-armoured one.

Strange! They work just fine for me. On two different PCs, no less.

Nice, but the figure sitting looks like his passing the prop.
