This is my build of HMS Renown as of 1942.I used the plans from the Profile Morskie book,and the Trumpeter kit of the Repulse as a basis .About 25% of the kit was used ,the rest I scratch-built.I cast my own 4.5 turrets from resin ,this is the first I`ve done this ,and it seemed to work out well.
More pics are on their way to the gallery,in the meantime here are a fewto be going on with.
Cheerio ,Phil

very nice Phil, great piece of modelling. I am surprised to see this finished so soon with all the work I've been watching you put into the project.

Cheers,

Rob

Excellent work Phil! The Renown was a beautiful ship in 42. I will be building a trumpy one in 700. I may use some of your build for refference painting. Great job.
