Hi all


A while ago there was a post here about a scratchbuild 1/72 enterprise, which was simply stunning.

Now I found below site about hms invincible... i'm not sure about the scale, but I think the pics say it all.

hms invincible big scale

Impressive work!!!!
(and maybe food for thoughts for the oncoming flattops campaign??
....."Submissions of this scale will be awarded an extra ribbon".....

I would say that by judging from the pictures with the owner in the front beside the harriers, and one of him behind some of the figures....he is holding his fingers up to represent the size...I would venture a guess that it is in the range of 1/35-1/24 scales.

Very Impressive!!!!!!

And I say I have a space problem :-) :-)

AHH Skip....he stores that one down at the yacht club. I didn't know they made Harriers that big, but I agree, this looks like 24th scale

Maybe the Harriers are scratchbuilt as well?

It is possible....with the right tools and skills
