RN Aircraft Carriers: Audacious / Eagle Class 1951

[designeraccd]

Changes to EAGLE and ARK ROYAL seemed to be constant! Here are some fairly early shots with all 16-4.5" AA, plus some of her end....

I finally built a second (late) model of the ARK after I had modified my first one 3 times!!! DFO

Now some views of the "BIG" Ark Royal with her various "looks"! I finally gave up modifying my little model, built a second in @ her final fit

The last 2 pics show the contrast between early and late. Quite a few pounds expended to keep her up to date, given her limited size......DFO

Here are some Ark photos from a little album they prepared for TTL when he visited late in her career, few more to follow, plus one from her in the building stages.

not sure who these carriers are under construction at H&W, the advert is from 1950-51 Janes. The picture of Corunna with Eagle, taken by one of Eagles helos is from 1956 approx., give or take a few months.
