Great job on your build! An inspiration for me to finish my own build of a similar kit.

:thumbs_up_1:

What sources did you use to ensure this was the 1916 fit for Queen Elizabeth?

Only what I could find in an Osprey book. So I may not, in fact, be 100% correct - or even close! :big_grin: Note the really limp ensign. I sprayed black lacquer on the base and mounted the model on it, then covered it to prevent dust. Big mistake! The lacquer fumes accumulated and softened the flag and made it go limp! A hint not to inhale lacquer fumes!! :whistle: :eyebrows: (There should be a "winky" smiley here too!)

For a full hull model, a limp flag isn't a bad thing! Looks more realistic, to be honest.
