Ahoy shipmates


With the dreadnought campaign closing in, thought this link might be of interest to you.
On below link you can take a virtual tour of hms belfast, a ww2 dreadnought which took part in destroying the Scharnhorst and the invasion of normandy.
It gives 360 ° views of inside the gunturret, and dozens other spaces on her 5 decks.

Hey cool! Thanks Bjorn! When I was in London in 1985, I wanted to see the Belfast but we didn't have enought time. I did however see it from the bridge. Maybe someday I can go back and see it.

Are there any decent model kits of the Belfast?

Thanks for that Bjorn!
The Belfast she is a wonderful ship, but a Dreadnought she is not mate. HMS Belfast is a Heavy Cruiser. I plan to build her in the future. I have a 1/600 Airfix kit of her in my stash I keep drooling over!

Thanks again for posting this!
