The radar dishes on that one do look very reminiscent of the type 984 on 1960's RN carriers like HMS Victorious

British European Airways Hawker-Siddeley Trident 1C Airfix 1/144 scale plastic kit, 1st issued in 1966 An oldy but goody, went together very easily.

Taking a break from building my usual ships by doing a few airliners. Here's my take on the 1970's vintage Airfix kit, completed as a Boeing 707-436 of Air India.

1/600 Airfix HMS Suffolk with Atlantic Models etch set. Very old kit & became obvious it would need whole forward superstructure replacing to be accurate, so I just finished it as I fancied. Nominally on China station in late 30's pre radar fit.
