Hi Tim,



This model of HMS Sheffield is to a scale of 1:600 and is scratchbuilt off
plans that appeared in the February 1975 issue of Scale Models magazine.  It
can therefore sit happily with my other 1:600 scale ships.



Some 500 individual parts have gone into this model.



The model was completely built out of plastic card and sprue except for the
fuselage of the helicopter – I presume this came from an Amazon kit.
(Funnily enough, this helicopter was inside the box of a Rommel kit that I
bought off ebay.  There were a number of other ‘copters of different types
in the same box.  The previous owner must have put them there for some
reason or another).



I was lucky to find that White Ensign had PE frets for this type of
destroyer left over from the ones they supplied with their HMS Exeter kit.
