Oops, Should have said River Plate one, WW2. Not fussed about era shown on plan , as-built or modified  would do.

Something not right, there - 192nd scale and 55" long? Since when was that Exeter 880 feet o/a?

~36" at 192nd, surely?

  An ancient plans handbook does indeed quote a length of 36".

I have advised MyHobbyStore of the error in dimensions. It appears to have occurred between editions of the Plans Handbook sometime back in the early 1990s.
