1/1200 Scale Destroyer

[shigure]

Attached are pictures of a 1/1200 model of the HMS Cavalier, a museum ship in the UK. She was a destroyer in WWII and served till 1970 in the RN. The model was a white metal Triang Minic kit. The model required a fair bit of filing to get rid of some of the casting marks. I added the antennas or antenni?

Although the detail is decent in the larger scale other manufacturers provide even more detail in this scale. It is amazing what detail GHQ is able to achieve in 1/2400.

Had some significance for me as my wife and I were able to go aboard her at the Chatam Historic dockyard. We were able to visit several musuem ships while living in the UK. So far I have been able to find a 1/1200 or 1/1250 model of every one.
