About time!

Although Michael you did have me going, I was getting ready to sell everything so I could buy one if it had been 1/350.

Lets hope that they follow it up with a larger scale version

I still have my Revell Ark Royal from the 1970s! So I would love this kit and look forward to it. 1/700 is A-OK by me!

Yeah, I'd really like a 1/350 scale of a WWII British carrier.

I've been considering Heller's 1/400 Illustrious kit.

And I'd like to see other manufactures come out with Fairey Albacores and Barracudas in 1/48 scale.

And I had the old Revell kit that Fred had mentioned, when I was a kid. I can still remembering admiring the tiny elliptical wings of the tiny seafires that came with it.

Fred, what scale would you say the Revell kit is?
