The Belgian government has declared that, in view of recent worldwide interests in the Flattop / aircraftcarrier campaign, they can not stay behind and have set aside a budget to update the strenght of the Belgian Navy.
In fact, the first of a fleet of two aircraftcarriers have already been delivered.

Rumours are that Revell is in close contact with our prime minister for the rights to build this beauty in 1/72.
This story will undoubtably continue.
I will keep you informed.

For now, we'll have to settle with the first official pic:

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

hmmm... Why does it say US Navy on the back? :-) :-) :-)

Talk about short take off and landing. Ya'll might fare a little better with a Harrier :-)

because it was built in Yorkshire ! in local dialect it means "our navy"
:-) :-) :-) :-)

I think that is a very interesting Flattop 1/72 subject to be made :-)

And deffinitly it's different from all the other Carriers :-) :-)

And you Belgiums keep getting angry when the Dutch tell one of their stupid-belgium-jokes. You see now my friend, they're actually no jokes but reality :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

No offence btw :-)
