Airfix - Vintage Classics Set - A04208V HMS Ark Royal - Plastic Model Ship Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 353 Pieces - 1:600 Scale Model Ship Set

I just received this today and eagerly opened the box to find a nice, large hull with what is sufficient buoyancy to take servos, motors rc gear and switches. As a donor kit to Radio Control (RC) and motorise it's excellent. I recommend it.

You know what you get with Airfix Vintage range and in this case a kit with a mould dating back to 1966. So yes, you might require a sanding pad, craft knife, filler and some clamps, and experienced modellers will have these things. But it is a hugely satisfying little project to do. It comes with tiny Swordfish and Fairey Fulmar planes which add interest to the deck and with the use of primer paints up really well.

Interesting model with just the right level of detail to make it entertaining. As is usual in this brand, the quality of the materials allows you to customize some of the finishes, which is appreciated among enthusiasts of this hobby.

Great item happy with it

Every thing as stated and on time

Chatting with father-in-law and he mentioned how he'd been round both nearby model shops looking for this model as he'd damaged the build beyond repair when he had kit some years ago. He'd expected to walk in and take one from a shelf but had no luck, so would forget trying to find one. He's not an internet user, not even comfortable using the phone, while he chatted I bought one from Amazon and told him kit would be delivered next day, which amazed and delighted him. He started building straight away and is having great time building this ship to go with his many others.

I get that this kit is from the Airfix Vintage Classic's series (kit from 1966) but come on Airfix surely these kits can be given some kind of an update. With the amount of flash on the parts and the barely readable part numbers on the sprues I thought I'd been transported back to 1969 and was building Ark Royal for the first time again.

The model has some quite fine details, however, be sure to purchase model filler and sanding pads or files as some of the pieces arnt the best fit by far. Also have time for the abundance of flash. That said, and the work ongoing, it is quite a nice model given time and effort

Belle maquette fidelle malgré qu'elle soit ancienne ,

Seguimos coleccionando modelos, este llegó en tiempo y tiene buena calidad

My Battle cruiser is very realistic and quality is excellent thank you

C'è poco da dire in quanto si tratta di un modello per collezionisti,ovvero per una generazione che nolente o volente si avvia al tramonto. Però non arretriamo nella nostra passione di modellisti, soprattutto quando si tratda dell' Aurfix ed in oarticolare dekla HMS Victorius che ho assemblato a 14 anni ovvero più di cinquanta anni fa assime al HMS Suffolk. Ricordi belli,come quelli odierni in quanto il Victorius non ha perso il suo appeals,anzi direi che sia cresciuto in quanto poco trovabile nei negozi di modellismo. Costruire questa portaerei è fare un tuffo nella storia della pilitica navale britannica defli anni cinquanta/sessanta. Troverete su you tube dei filmati afferenti a questa nave della Royal Navy e ciò vi sarà di stimolo e di compagnia quando l 'assemblerete e la vernicerete. Buon lavoro marinai. Per mare per Terram

Grandioso modelo, excelente detalle, facil armado, algunos detalles menores en la union de las mitades del casco, y me encantaría que incluyera mas aviones
