Hi guys
I have heard that there may be a 1/350 scale model of the battlecruiser HMS Courageous out there, Can anyone confirm this and if correct where to purchase from?
thanks all

HI Colin,

The only kit I know of HMS Couragous in battlecruiser form is 1/700th by Admiralty modelworks.

I have HMS Glorious and the casting & etch are superb.

I do not know of any in 1/350th, but am willing to be proved wrong.

Thanks mate.
I thought that might be the case. I will probably do one of the Admiralty kits as I have heard good things about them. I would love to do a 1/350 kit of one of these ships. They might not have been a great success as battlecruisers but they were great looking ships. I would love also to find a 1/350 hms Tiger.
Good to chat to you
Regards
Colin

Colin,
I can do nothing but highly recommend any and all of Admiralty Modelworks kits, mate, including Courageous...not in 1/350 scale, but a very impressive 1/700 scale... here's our closer look at her on MSW in case you missed it...
