Thanks for sharing your builds and your knowledge of these ships. I have the 1/600 HMS Suffolk kit as well which I am trying to build and I would like to know how you managed to drill those portholes in a straight line; how did you align the center point of these holes before drilling. My kit came with the fairleads broken because the plastic is so soft and thin. From the video, I guess you have scratch built the fairleads; how did you do it? Any advice is most appreciated.

A great job on this old classic. I see that you have painted it with grey anti-fouling as current evidence shows a lot of RN ships actually had. Is there any evidence for Ajax being grey or is this conjecture?

@@RF590KG84 Thanks. I have seen evidence that other RN ships such as HMS Hood and KGV had grey anti-fouling and read an opinion that Ajax may also have been. I am interested to find out what other RN ships were also grey on the bottom.

superb conversions from a pretty good kit.Do you remember the long series of conversions in the OLD airfix magazines?. They were excellent articles where a begginer in conversions could develop their skills.. I wish modern magazines would go back to those fun days Instead of the modern ten pages of "how i bought fifty quids worth of aftermarket bits and used twenty different finishing products" to build a simple modell!

Brilliant Job . My late father would of been so happy to have seen this build. He served on the Vanguard on the Royal Tour of South Africa in 1947. Still have a few old photos of the Vanguard and the crew taken during this time. I hope Airfix or another manufacturer will one day realise a commercial model of the last British Battleship.

Another great build, one more silk purse from a sow's ear. Haven't seen the Kangnam kit but don't think I'll get one anytime soon. I will be doing an Airfix Iron Duke when that's released later this year, and thanks to your inspiration, will look to super detail it with the WEM kit, Micro Master armament and boats, and a wooden deck. I built one of those as a teenager and want to see how much better it can be.

I was chatting to an Airfix rep at a model show last year and asked him if there was any chance of a re-release of this kit. He told me that they still had the tooling for it so possibly may make the 'vintage classic' range one day. Fingers crossed

Great job. Turned a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Micro Master makes beautiful sets of both the RN 6" and 4" turrets that you could use for greater accuracy yet-ship's boats and other goodies too if you want to go the whole hog. I guess keeping costs under control was a factor, and your scratch building skills in any case worked a treat on the horrible kit items.

Remarkable rebuild that's added a tremendous amount of refinement to what is a really a crude model. Really like the toothpick mail masts-quite an ingenious use of a simple material. Too bad Airfix hasn't re-released the kit, I have fond memories of building it as a boy. Wouldn't mind having another go at it, doing something similar.

How do you fit your photo-etch railings? I'm in the middle of the airfix HMS Hood, my first model in decades. I tried using super glue gell but ended up in places with glue on the railings, I got them all on and it wasn't bad for a first attempt but I'd love some tips! Your ships are beauties by the way.

I use zap a gap supa glue. Make sure its all bent up before hand. Its ok if there's a slight bend to clear the deck edge. You just start with a small dab of supa glue at one end, wait till its taken, then dab the next little bit, hold the rails there. Also usually I don't paint where its going till its on, then the bottom rail creates a great demarcation line for painting. Curved sections can be pre-bent around a suitable diameter pen.
