David Ridgus Posted 16 December , 2013 Share Posted 16 December , 2013 Airfix used to do Dreadnought You can still get the Airfix HMS Iron Duke, Jellicoe's flagship at Jutland. There is also a large Dreadnought model from Trumpeter There are also card models of Dreadnought, Iron Duke, Lion, Invincible and many others David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted 17 December , 2013 Share Posted 17 December , 2013 Trumpeter do HMS Warspite (1915 condition) and HMS Queen Elizabeth (1918 condition) in 1/700 scale. U boat laboratorium do an early coastal type in resin (mostly one piece though) in 1/350. Would be nice to have some plastic kits around, especially of the smaller types inc. u boats, destroyers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalyback Posted 17 December , 2013 Share Posted 17 December , 2013 Thought Iron Duke was WW2. Not very good with age of floaty things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Upton Posted 17 December , 2013 Share Posted 17 December , 2013 Thought Iron Duke was WW2. Not very good with age of floaty things! Built 1912, scrapped 1940's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Iron_Duke_(1912) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalyback Posted 17 December , 2013 Share Posted 17 December , 2013 Thank you Mr Upton. Bombed in WW2 may of mislead my thinking. Modelshop tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill24chev Posted 18 December , 2013 Share Posted 18 December , 2013 Thank you Mr Upton. Bombed in WW2 may of mislead my thinking. Modelshop tomorrow! Yes as a depot ship at Scapa Flow, most of her(if the Iron Duke can be a her?) armament and armour removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 18 December , 2013 Share Posted 18 December , 2013 Yes as a depot ship at Scapa Flow, most of her(if the Iron Duke can be a her?) armament and armour removed. Well Nelson, Rodney, Anson. and Hood were all hers! In British nautical tradition ships are always female (possibly to give sailors the opportunities to make heavy handed coarse jokes about scraping bottoms etc etc!)
