Great job there on one of my favourite ships! Awesome colour scheme, and nice subtle bit of weathering.

I'd be interested to see what you can do with the warspite, as I wimped out on the camo finish!

Nice paint job. Painting makes all the difference. The ww2 British units had some great patterns and this is one of them. Great job TI4438. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Congratulations on a fine build. It is nice to see these old Airfix kits, especially Nelson.

Cheers,

Bill

Thanks guys.Unlike when I was a kid,I now opt for the most challenging paint scheme.Finding adequate references was another challenge.
