Hi Rayna,
May I ask what scale model your friend wishes to build, assuming building is his intention.

Be careful when comparing HMS Ark Royal post re-fit with HMS Eagle. Post refit Ark Royal had water cooled jet blast reflectors, strop catchers on both catapults and was fited with two 'double-bedstead' 965 radars. Eagle did not have the strop catchers and was fitted with a 984 'dustbin' radar forward and 965 aft. The wardroom on Eagle also had the largest Bar in the fleet.
