This is a model so big that it has a Maine Dept. of Motor Vehicles registration number on its hull. The builder, William Terra, can ride in it along with a passenger.

It moves at 15mph and measures 30 feet long with a 4 1/2 foot beam

Sweet……Now who makes the British cruisers to go with it???

There was a model of HMS Hood on ebay that was of a similar scale to this. I think it was listed at £15,000 starting price

MH

Hmmm what ruleset would best accomidate that scale?

No, no, no, it's all wrong! Anyone who knows squat about WWII German weapons knows that the registration number on the bow is bogus. It should be BF 109E, not ME 109E. A common beginner's mistake.

Wow, that's pretty darn cool!

Absolutely magnificent! What size are the guns and what's their rate of fire?

I hope he has an anti submarine boom placed around that ship. Otherwise a couple of midget subs, a squadron of fairey swordfish, or some MTBs would sort him out.

CKE1st – calm down. Thats a proper Maine(as in the US state with postal code ME)registration number from the Maine department of Motor Vehicle(or whatever their equivalent is).
