1/700 HMS Hermes & Battleaxe (Orange Hobby & WEM)
HMS Hermes served with the Royal Navy from 1959 to 1984 and still in
service with the India Navy as INS Viraat. Another great kit from Orange
hobby, this kit is so good, you only need to add some railings to the walkways
around the funnel. It comes with a excellent P.E. set and all of gets used,
good decals for the ship, you only get 2 SeaHarriers and 2 Seakings, but
can buy extras ones and they come with a tug and tow bar included
with the Harriers, I also added a Wessex, RAF Harriers and a Chinook from
John (BFM). Vehicles from WEM.
The Escort HMS Battleaxe a Type 22 Batch 1 Frigate from White Ensign
models, needed a lot a work to bring it up to Hermes standard. Last thing,
not sure about having the blades look like they are moving, time will tell.
Both kits are resin models. The figures are all Eduard
