A classic plastic construction kit from the springtime of Airfix, its appearance on the model shop shelves had our dad's agog at its size and accuracy, while us wee laddies suddenly turned extra well behaved in the hope dad would buy one for us too.

Modern fine-pigment paints help - rather than the syrupy stuff that existed when it was first issue back in 1962. Using the White Ensign photo-etch set, and bits and bobs from other other post-market makers, turns it into a beautiful miniature of an icon of British maritime history.Read full review
