Thanks everybody. :thumb2:

Somebody has suggested that I do a six-wheeler (four wheels at the front) for Lady Penelope and Parker. Perhaps I just might build one, one day.

Chris, I have only built two ships (and one Pibber boat) since my HMS Prince of Wales (R09) of November 2019. The ships were the Heller Jeanne D'Arc and the Airfix HMS Ark Royal.

Hi Dave
That's a very clever, unique idea which has turned out really well.

You are older than you own up to mate ...

I'll show my age too as I can recall those times. For those interested the actual colour used was Alcad 2 Candy Violet Enamel (ALC-712).
