CV 01 AIRCRAFT CARRIER

CVA-01 was a proposed United Kingdom aircraft carrier, designed during the 1960s. The ship was intended to be the first of a class that would replace all of the Royal Navy's carriers, most of which had been designed before or during the Second World War. Wikipedia Displacement: 54,500 long tons (55,400 t); 63,000 long tons (64,000 t) at full load

 Length 2.48m Beam 547  depth 210mm Moulded glass fibre hull of the never built carrier, but a interesting and fascinating model in its own right.

Looks most impressive, but it'll be an awkward scale to find aircraft to suit. I make it 1/114 th scale approx.

Shouldn’t be an issue.  The new ‘carriers’ QE and POW are mostly devoid of planes

Good the see hull #1 Ron 
Kits it’s actually closer to 1/100 scale as I now own the original seen in the later pictures. It’s a big beast and Ron has done an excellent job cleaning up the mould for the new hull. BTW I’m not the customer but I do know who it is!

CVA-01 isn't 'new', it was meant to be in service in the early 70s, when the air group would have been Phantoms, Buccaneers, AEW Gannets and Sea Kings.

I know CVA 01 isn’t new and the full history behind it (and the proposed class of 4 and Bristol etc) -  it’s meant as sarcasm about not having plane kits at the Deans hull scale when compared to our modern new carriers barely carrying any because there is only 30 in service

Ah, but it draws up a whatiff carrier. I did a list for Nick from 1960s t0 2020s.

Ideal stablemate to Stirlings 1/110 scale Scout.
