    HI Wabble i think she is right as remember this is a sqeezed up batch 1or 2 type 42 an they did look a bit high not like the batch 3 which looked right as they were the streched vershion as they had an extra 40 ft of hull added for better sea keppin qaulityes an lee i think she should have a small union flad painted on her bridge top but i may be mistaken on that

      Didn't Airfix do Leander and a Tribal class in 1/600 back when the Earth was very young?

        I guess without the Bulwark it looks different.

          I think so, Gern, if my memory about old Airfix catalogues serves me correctly.

            They did back a couple of millennium ago Dave, HMS Leander, I cant remember the tribal name. It would be amazing to see them revamp the Leander but do the other conversions, twin 4.5, Ikara, Sea wolf/ exocet.
