TailUK:
Don't forget there were 5 Ships in the class, so plans may be available for one of the others which will get you started.

Revenge
  became (Renown) 
Resolution
Royal Oak 
Royal Sovereign
Ramillies

Colin Bishop:
Actually Renown became Revenge!
You will need to think carefully about when you want to depict Royal Oak as the ships of this class were all modified prior to WW2 and there were significant diffreneces between them. A good place to start is RA Burt's British Battleships 1919 -1945.

Fleetscale lists a set in 1/128th scale. It does not indicate the time frame though. A quick phone call or e-mail should solve that.http://www.fleetscale.com/store/gb/rn-royal-sovereign-class/401-1-128th-royal-sovereign-class-revenge-royal-oak-plans.html

Geoff:
I believe Ron Dean at Dean's Marine also do a 1/96 scale hull and presumably plans to match. I have always thought these were much maligned ships. When built they were designed to fit in with the battle line so speed was 21/22 knots but they were much more heavily armoured than the Queen Elizabeth's. Two were at Jutland and scored hits. Their 15" guns were very powerful.


Other than Royal Oak they were not much modified between the wars. Whilst relatively well protected they were too slow and their design (not enough space) did not permit the extensive modernisation the Queen Elizabeth's went through.


They do however make up into superb models and really look the part.


Cheers
