Another superb addition to the long-neglected Royal Navy! The water effects are wonderful--having high speeds rendered so accurately makes ships come alive.
The World War II Royal Navy is rich territory for both 1:700 and 1:350, just waiting for a manufacturer to exploit. Until then, modelers like Phil will bring them to the world.

Hi Phil
Excellent craftsmanship (again, as usual!) on a odd one
I really like the flank speed effect on it, you managed to capture it like a photograph!
Although I am a newbie in this area of 700 scale ship modeling I think that most modelers "drop" the project by failling to place the model on a water base, or just put a plain one. This is ok if they are at anchor or in a harbour, but at sea they should be depicted in their own environment - the always risky ocean!
As Karl said, once the "Lion" awakes in injection models... but in 700th please!
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on another masterpiece!
Cheers,
Rui

Excellent!
What an odd ship! If I'd seen it in a show, without and info, I should have said "must be a what-if". Beautiful camo! Well done Phil! Please stay off the beaten paths!

Guido

Nice work! I wasn't familiar with the fact that she was re-fitted with the US 5" 38s before Pearl harbor! That's fascinating. I like the camo scheme, too!
