No, still not a typo, this is another kit conversion project.
Starting point is the Tamiya 1/700 Repulse kit, with various work done to backdate and convert to show HMS Renown in her clean and graceful interwar appearance.
I won't go into too many details as there is a WIP thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=204719&p=802130#p802130I've chosen to focus my effort in this build on the major conversion elements and hence I've kept the rest clean and simple with only strategic use of photo-etch and no major super-detailing. I'm aware there are some issues with paint finish roughness, I was fighting a nearly empty pot and decided to press on and finish rather than wait to buy a new one, which may not have been very wise but I'm still happy with the result. I just aim to do something a bit different!
Thank you all for following the build and encouraging along the way!
