Airfix 1:600 HMS Leander

Using the Airfix Leander kit to build HMNZS Canterbury, a fairly standard Leander, and also HMNZS Taranaki, a Type 12 conversion. There are also many other conversions you could do with this kit, so its still quite sought after. Check out my other videos for additional 1:600 Airfix builds.

Good work, made the basic kit look much better, and the Type 12 conversion also looks good.

Classic vessel, well captured 👍.

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!

Been trying for a few years now to find a Airfix Leander Class frigate to build but no luck. Can anyone help me please to find one to buy.

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

My box had "from the TV series Warship" on the lid with markings for HMS Hero the star of the show !

Very nice model.

Brilliant! I've got a few of these kits in my stash. Keep thinking of how I'm going to improve them when I finally build them.
