Definately a nice looking boat from that link up above !

As for air wings, with that gorgeous Airfix Skyhawk in 72nd scale, that should be on every Navy's list ! Now, if they would just do a Tracker..... :thumbsup:

This all sounds very interesting. May even get me interested in some of these floaty things!

I bought that Renwal Blueprint re-issue job of that US carrier _____________ ? Don't have the kit in front of me I'm away at work  :thumbsup: But it has an angled deck, and what I recall a wood deck, and it looks easily scaleable to a 350th scale post war RN/RCN type...and it goes cheap too !

:cheers:

Ark Royal's lifts were 54ft x 44ft & 54ft x 33ft and were in the middle of the deck unlike US carriers which have deck edge lifts and therefore can over hang larger aircraft. The dimensions meant that the F4K had a folding Radar housing.
