HUGE 20ft+ !!! HMS Howe 1937 | Glasgow Riverside Museum

Seen at the Glasgow Riverside Museum is this HUGE 20ft+ model of HMS HOWE from 1937.
Hard to film due to the glass wall but well worth a visit if your are ever visiting Scotland.
History:
HMS Howe (pennant number 32) was the last of the five British King George V-class battleships of the Royal Navy. Built by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, she was laid down on 1 June 1937 and launched 9 April 1940. She was originally to have been named Beatty but this was changed to Howe, after Admiral Richard Howe.
Howe was completed on 29 August 1942 after her building time was extended, as supplies were diverted to work of a higher priority such as the construction and repair of merchant ships and escort ships. Like her sister-ship HMS Anson, Howe spent most of her career in the Arctic providing cover for Russian convoys.

I used to love going to see these in the old transport museum in the Kelvin Hall.

you have taken me back to childhood in the 1960s when I first went to the collection to see these wonderful models .I believe a lot of them to be the original "builders models" from the shipyards themselves ! Went on to inspire my hobby for several decades > Thanks .

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

when i looked at the info cards i think the majority seemed to be builders models. there is now a big wall of boats but you cant really see the ones above head height. i think i took footage of 4-5 and got permission for me to upload them. im in glasgow on 14th july at the richmond model club navy day. if i have time i may try and go back to the museum and have another look.

Wow.. Just subscribed to this channel out of curiosity and damn those ships look so detailed. Amazing

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

i think the models on display are the actual builders models before construction, or near that time

[@fleetSRT]

@@rcmodelwarships6893 oh! so the ship builders themselves made this model before constructing the real ship?

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

@@fleetSRT quite possibly. thats what i was told these models are. i filmed about 6 but have uploaded 4 in this format. the problem is that the models are stacked up on top of each other behind a glass wall, so you can see the bottom two levels but any above head hieght are hard to see.
