Hi guys,
I need youre help,
I'm looking for the company that makes a model of the aircraft carier Karel Doorman( in dutch service).
I know this model exists but I don't know how made it.
I'm looking for this model because my father, who served on this ship is going to have his 65 burthday and it would make a realy great gift.
so if any one knows please tell me, I would be ever so greatfull.

Thanks, Jan-Willem

Hi JanWillem

The Karel Doorman could be built from the HMS Colossus....

See the following article from IPMS Nederlands:
http://www.ipms.nl/mip/doorman.html

or:
http://www.steelnavy.com/KDoorman.htm

I think that the last article is a nice guide for you to be able to build it!

Regards,

Skipper
