Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Are they going to do a CATOBAR version...
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
So at 1:1250 scale, a titchy little 22.4cm (8.8 inches) long Corgi toy. And being made from die-cast metal, it'll probably sink in your bathtub.
(Corgi)
But found some nice QE drawings at that link, they might come in handy for an improved assembly diagram if we build a third carrier someday.

This one is much bigger than 8 inches and it's for a very worthy cause.Ron5 wrote:A carrier of your very own!

Still waiting on Airfix, how long would a 1/350 model be?Poiuytrewq wrote:This one is much bigger than 8 inches and it's for a very worthy cause.Ron5 wrote:A carrier of your very own!

At 1/350 scale, it would be 80 cm, or 2 feet 6 inches long.Ron5 wrote:Still waiting on Airfix, how long would a 1/350 model be?

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
I think 1/1250 is pretty standard for diecast.
If you want a Rolls Royce diecast model you need to go here but they don't have a QNLZ model.

Looks like Airfix is thinking about it:

No, the QEC drawings and measurements are Metric. Staying that way will minimise costs (and errors)!
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Just waiting for the 1/350 Airfix, Trumpeter or whatever kit for a QEC Carrier to form the centrepiece of my CSG on the under shelf of a glass topped (and glass sided) coffee table. I already have the 2 x T45 and 2 x T23 and both Trafalgar & Astute classes of SSN. In all probability neither Tide class or Fort Victoria/Future SSS will never be available as models on a commercial basis. In any case, the coffee table would then need to be too large!
Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
I have it on very secret confirmation that they cannot do a QE class model, apparently the 2nd of class has larger measurements/displacements (you need to know how much putty to put in the hull when making a model after all) but they are very closely kept to those in the know...
