My great grandfather served on the Agincourt, I have all his old diaries of every day of service during WW1 including the battle of Jutland. Nice to see your model.

[@Dreyer1916]

Looks beautiful. I love that her turrets were named after the days of the week.

[@ploppysonofploppy6066]

Seizing Agincourt and others from Turkey greatly influenced their aligning with Germany in WW1. "The Ship That Changed The World", Dan Van der Vat. Good read.

Excellent working model, well done.

[@cdgodsell]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Well done

[@barryslemmings31]

That's a stunning model. Truly stunning. Well done!

[@mrhuffler9791]

Beautiful, as you say it has a fascinating history, and is unique of its type - well done.

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

Very impressive model, congratulations!

The only British Dreadnought to have all 12” turrets on the centreline.

[@markhancock7527]

wonderful model.One of my favorite ship's.

[@jeffgaboury3157]

Wow, what a labour of love! Great to see!

[@mrcraig41]

Absolutely incredible achievement! I've actually built a waterline, 1/550 - 1/600 scale model of the battlecruiser USS Lexington, but it doesn't even come close to your ship! I have a Warship International magazine that deals with Brazilian Dreadnought designs and the Rio de Janeiro/Sultan Osmond I/HMS Agincourt figures prominently in it.

My grandfather got some lino from the officers mess when she scrapped for the kitchen and it lasted till 2010.

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

thats such a random story. so coool.

[@jcwoodman5285]

Nice! No Aggies in the model world till this!

[@robertfraser845]

great name when i was 8or 9 years old my parents had bought a new home in the area called agincourt ontario a suburb of scarborough ontario just north of toronto we also have a town in the east end of toronto called ajax it was named that just after i think ww2 and in honor of the men who served in the canadian and british royal navies the people who live in ajax are very proud of its heritage same with the town of whitby ontario

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

ajax was a cruise involved in the river plate battle against admiral graf spee.

My Grandad fought on this boat in the first world war!

Well done!

Amazing

Georgous, would have loved to see her in real life

[@kryptekfunnies7473]

Where do you get these

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

fleet scale and others do the hull, deans marine do part kits. but mostly ships of this size are scratch built

[@dignes3446]

Special ship. Interesting history. Not the most sensible design to say the least but nothing quite like those 7 badboys. Brazil probably mostly cared about the propaganda/prestige aspect of the ship. British would have never built something weird like this, but weren't gonna let it go to a potential German ally like Turkey. Which probably was illegal but very sensible: This did certainly hasten Turkey joining the war but I don't think it was the real reason for Turkey joining Central Powers. If Turkey did have these two Super Dreadnaughts + Goeben/Yavuz Battlecruiser... The tiny Turkish navy suddenly become a much bigger problem: The could dominate Russian Navy in the Black sea and cause some "Fleet in being" threat against the British and Italians in Aegean/East Mediterranean.

[@ijnnowaki356]

do u guys know the source? like that shop with electronics the slogan is i want that thats what im saying to this thing

[@GeneralKenobiSIYE]

Well it may have been larger but it had the armor of a battlecruiser. It would have been a battlecruiser if not for the low speed compared to the Lions, Renowns and especially HMS Hood. Hahaha It was a SLOW battlecruiser.

[@tommyleesheils2061]

I thought my 1/96 USS Kidd DD-661 was big....

[@s.31.l50]

This ship have so many guns that it might just tip over if all guns are fired on one side, luckily it didn’t.

[@sirmalus5153]

No, it wouldn't have tipped over after a broadside. The ship fired many broadsides at Jutland, and was reported to have blown up a few times. but this was due to the amount of flame observed by other ships, after all the turrets fired at the same time. A most impressive ship yes (the real one) but lacking in armour protection really.

[@keithmartland6463]

Nice looking model, now all you have to do is give her some weathering!

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

ive always prefered weathering, however if this was to go into a competition they would want to see a nice clean build, which i find strange

[@ausfan100]

Were her blast bags really that yellow colour?

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

thats a good question. i will try and find out

[@ausfan100]

@@rcmodelwarships6893 - My late grandfather who served on HMS Iron Duke in WW1 told me they were white, although over time, weathering caused them to be a shade between very light grey / off white. That's why I was kind of startled to see the yellowish tone on your fine model.

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

@@ausfan100 I will send an email to the builder and see what he says

[@ausfan100]

@@rcmodelwarships6893 - yes I'd be interested to know for certain one way or the other.

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

@@ausfan100 reply from builder. I've never seen a colour photo of a World War 1 battleship so the colour is my interpretation of weathered canvas. (seen a lot of tents) In view of an eyewitness account I'll change to light grey next time she has a refit. Regards, Ron

[@matthewrosa7262]

The Craftsmanship Is Unbelievable! -As It Right Ought To Be For The Ship With The Most Unbelievable Presence, (I Mean, SEVEN TURRETS?! -FOURTEEN GUNS?!) -And It's Most Unbelievable History Of Previous And Wannabe Owners! -But You COULD HAVE Made It Easier On Yourself, -Saving Time, Money And Materials, - By Building The LATER Version Of H.M.S. AGINCOURT WITHOUT The Flying Bridges Over The Middle Turrets And STILL Give Everyone At The Model Meet That Same Sense Of Awe Of Just The MODEL"S Size! -And THEN Hit Them With The Size And History (And Previous Ownership) Of The ACTUAL Ship!

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

7 main turrets. 14 main guns & couldn't hit anything!
