Having spent the last 3 years designing and testing radar systems for the Type 45 fleet, I would like a ship of my own. Does anyone produce a reasonable size kit yet? (ie not FleetScale's large and not very house friendly version wink - My marina berth is used up for my yacht.) 1 metre LOA would be about right for the model.

Thanks

Have a look at this link and then scroll down 'til you get to HMS Exeter. Might be a bit bigger than you want, (but not the Fleetscale monster). The info on the hull moulding is obviously incorrect, unless it really does weigh 7 tonnes. I think it's probably 7kg. Hope it helps.
