The HMS Prince of Wales served a short-lived but active career in the Royal Navy. Among the more notable aspects of her career was her encounter with the Kriegsmarine's Bismarck battleship and Prinz Eugene cruiser, of which she survived after landing a couple of detrimental shots on Germany's prized battleship.

Chris scratch-built the hangar bay to be open, extending the tracks inside with additional details on the bulkheads and clutter detail. The men are talking with the pilot discussing the possibility of launching the Walrus despite rough seas.

You've got the North Atlantic captured, all right! Have you considered a depiction of a Japanese heavy cruiser in the swells? They tended to put a significant flare on their bows and newsreel footage of a Japanese cruiser plunging her bows into the seas produced a dramatic jet of spray on either side. Nicely done. --Karl
