HMS Eagle R05

A Scratch Build 1:600 scale model of the former Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Eagle. Built by my own fair hands, I have tried to depict HMS Eagle in her final year of R.N. operation which was 1971. HMS Eagle was a sister ship to the rather more well known carrier HMS Ark Royal R09. HMS Eagle's full air group is on the flight deck and consists of:

 

12x Sea Vixen FAW2

14x Buccaneer S2

4x Gannet AEW 3

1x Gannet COD4

6x Sea King HAS1

2x Wessex SAR

 

All the aircraft on this model are of die cast white metal and hand painted

 

This Model of Eagle has an overall length of 16.25 inches
