Just read a review on Hyperscale that OzMods are going to release 3 Brit built carriers, Majestic and Collosus Class. Read here:

British Carriers

While they are the ones sold to the aussies they could be conversted to others of these classes.

That is very cool, thanks for sharing Mahross. Anything British can't be all bad. The page doesn't make quite clear, are those plastic or resin?

This would also allow anyone wanting to build the Canadian HMCS Warrior (Improved Collosus Class) or the HMCS Magnificent (Majestic Class)....would really be the first kits produced that could be turned into a Canadian carrier, and in 1/350 scale at that!!! All we need now is a Modified Majestic Class Carrier...which differs by having an angled flight deck, so we can build the HMCS Bonaventure, afectionalty named Bonnie.

Now all we need is the 1/350 scale aircraft to go on these carries.....maybe White Ensign Models?

Maggi, Bonnie and Warrior. Yahoo! I have the Skywave Bogue carrier, which is an easy convert into Puncher or Nabob. Granted the first 3 will be 1/350 and the others 1/700... but still... woohoo!

Still would like to know if these are plastic or Resin ? I checked out the Ozmod site, they dont list the carriers there yet, but most all there other ship kits are resin. There resin destroyers are going for about $155.00, so if there carriers are resin, one could expect to pay around $450.00 or more and taking them out of my budget ?

Regards,
Garry
