Bob,
Marbeth do HMS Avenger at 1/72.
I have had 5 of these models at this scale so if you want any pointers feel free.

Hi bob....just reinforces what i thought .......that is one elegant looking vessel...and beautifully built ,if i might say so. O0 O0

            If mine ends up looking anywhere near as good as that i will be one happy bunny.

                         regards....bob.

Bob,
She just takes a good photo.
She is scratch built (not by me) and the hull is wrong and deepened.
The "knuckle" on the bow has been smoothed in, and the superstructure is too heavy gauge in most places.
I have refurbished the complete hull and fitted G. Sitek running gear, superb as usual.
She is running on direct drive 550's on 6 volts.
Might be on eBay soon!!
