Phil’s model of HMS Lion. this model had its maiden voyage on March 13th, it is 66in long, has 4 working propellors, and is very impressive, Phil had to research the design as no plans exist, so worked from old photographs. The real ship weighed 29,700 tons and had a speed of 28 knots, she was 700 feet long and burned 95o tons of coal a day. Main armament was 8 x 13.5in guns plus 16.x 4in guns and torpedo tubes, damaged at Jutland and finally scrapped in 1924. Phil’s Grandfather served on her which is why he decided to model her. Peter B’s RAF Crash and Fire Tender, built of wood and fitted with a brushless motor she looks superb on the water with a nice paint job. On patrol – Ian’s armed Trawler and Ted’s Corvette
