Looks like a geat kit. A good pe set will be in order. So where is Halfyank? He will go absolutly nuts about this. He has been begging for one of thwse for 6 or 7 years now

Looks good, certainly captures the feel of the rebuilt Warspite. One small and very minor comment, the single 20mm on the catapult deck look a bit to far inboard, surely they should be almost at the deck edge? If priced relative to their Graf Spee will represnt great value for money. Count me in!!!!! Si

I was actually looking forward to something along the lines of WORLD WAR ONE ! perhaps Jutland where the Warspite was in the front ranks of Battle Squadron 5. Took and gave with equal valor. Not the land bombarder of the second war. I will not be buying this unless there is a Jutland option. Sorry, Disappointed.

HMS Warpite is one of my favorite British ships, BTW, she did a lot more than shore bombardment in WW2, and I will definitely get this kit.

Hello Ken, I have 3 scan's out of my Janes book: They are not the best scan's But Miss Mary did her best with that large book and being sick as she is. My system hates printers/scaners with a passion(I ahve gone through 14 in 6 months so far) so she does all of the scan's for me. I hope they will help. Cheers, Bruce
