"HMS BLAKE C99"

A bit of "pottering" in the garden shed produced this rendition of HMS Blake A "Tiger" class cruiser of the Royal Navy. Blake was completed as an "all gun" cruiser in 1961 and later converted to a Helicopter carrying cuiser and re entered service in 1969 she carried four Wessex/Sea King Helicopters. HMS Blake was the last of the big cruisers to serve Her Majesty and was withdrawn from service in 1979. This model is entirely scratch built to 1:600 Scale with a length overall of 11 inches. The Sea King helicopters are cast white metal
