A bit more info Ivor:
Duncan Cameron built this 29ft Invincible class carrier sourced from an old RN recruitment model . and is seen here on the approches to the Boat Museum Model Boat Convention recuiting the then next generation by providing an on deck experience. Also a shot taken at the Boat Boat Museum Windermere which gives a impression of how big this model is.

Thanks David , I wondered what it might have started life as ;)

As you know my largest model was of HMS Victorious c 1960 ,as a tribute to the late Chalky , but something of this scale is beyond my pocket , but happy to help :)

These days seemed to be preoccupied with Schooner's and alike , but nearing 80's and physical restrictions are taking their toll :roll: but thanks for the posts ,which you know I sit awaiting your import :)
