Airfix 350th Scale model of ILLUSTRIOUS CVL

[sierra hotel]

I am sure most you folks now know that Airfix, UK plastic model manufacturer is releasing the ILLUSTRIOUS as in 2009-2010 fit, full hull details up and below waterline. This is a benchmark kit release in 350th scale comparing to the older 600 scale kits of yesteryear.

Are there any photos of these ships in drydock showing the underhull details and screws, rudders??? Abundance of pictures on this site of these great ships everywhere, but are there any old 'launching sequence' or DDock pictures out there not yet posted please....and if you could, large files?? Thanks from ship modeler Ray in Canada.

I came across one of these at a Dobbies garden centre near Atherstone of all places!! Wish I'd bought it.

Recent Discovery Channel documentary on the Ark Royal showed the Ark in dry dock. A view of this might help.
