Impressive Dave, particularly the small aircraft.

The ship I am building at the moment contains 3 different models of the Swordfish.
One is just two bits of plastic and the others involve etched brass,
Remember it is 1:700 scale.
The first is shown in the first two pictures.
The second has the wings folded - only one is supplied.
The third is with them unfolded.
Assembling these has been a trial this afternoon, madness or just insanity, who knows.

Looking good, the rigging might be a bit of a challenge......Hahaha
The etch does add to the finese of the completed swordfish.
Ready for Sunday.......?

You excell at both - madness and insanity hohoho          join the club     

Thanks Martin.
Here is the Fkyhawk Fairey Seafox, straight from the box, 7 parts, great detail, very thin plastic.No brass all plastic.

The last sprue shows the Walrus unbuilt.

Now you're building the whole Fleet Air Arm.............yikes!

Crickey! They're brilliant.

I have just started HMS Penelope , a light Cruiser of the Arethusa Class, from FlyHawk Models, a Chinese company, there is no etched brass in the kit, but the plastic details are superb. There are many different sprues and parts in separate boxes, some come on the sprues as shown in the photos.
I will add etched brass rails and stairs, there are plastic ones supplied, stairs that is but the have no handrails.

More to keep you busy Dave.

Clever how the sprues all stack together, neat touch!

Etched railings and ladders added, undercoated.

Size comparison.
Heavy cruiser and Light cruiser,

Quite a size difference!

The fleet is going from strength to strength.
