This site's mainly about HMS Striker (I'd love one of those in 1/600) with a pic of Victorious in WWII camo

[quote="thomasweir"]Is anyone brave enough to build the Moskva or the Forrestal ? I remember seeing them in Woolco in the late 70s but never had enough pocket money to purchase them......

I did the Forrestal a couple of years ago. I don't know (or care) about how accurate it is, but I enjoyed doing it.

Cheers!

BAC stop showing off!

If you are trying to induce an inferiority complex-- it's working!

Victorious is a project i wanted to do, even before the re-issue came out. It was the 50th. anniversary this year of the recommissioning with the angled-deck. I want to do her justice if i can without -was gonna say- going overboard (ahem) want to get her as accurate as i can AND enjoy the experience! hope that's not an oxymoron
