Already have one in my stash. For the price I was impressed, along with the WEM etch I reckon it will make a great build.

Will get at least one more to build as a late war Superb with double 4" casemates, two tripods etc. (I know it won't be 100%, but good enough for me)

A friend told me that Pontos is doing a set for the Dreadnaught. I am glad to have a kit of her and glad that Zvezda decided to make it. There is hope for us pre-Dread fans!

Hi Jim,

have seen what pontos have done for Warspite, looks well impressive. Am using the WEM set on the 1st Dreadnought, but may well look at the Pontos set for the conversion, especially if they provide brass masts, will save some scratchbuilding.

It truly is a golden age for RN fans! Not one, not two, but three RN ships in 1/350 in the space of a few months! Sign me up for all three and bring on as many more as possible!
