Is anyone aware, or can point me to, of a good model of the Leander Class light cruiser? Additionally, a model of a British MTB, Vosper 'class,' would also be helpful.

Depends what scale you are after. If its 1/600 then the old Airfix HMS AJAX is a bit long in the tooth but is a good starting point. Heroics and Ros cover various types of Vospers in 1/600 as well.

I thought ALNAVCO had one of their own, or maybe it was Clydeside, whom they distributed for, had one in 1/1200th scale. Eric

GHQ has a 1/2400 scale mini for $10.50 USD.

The 1/2400 ones are nice. I have five.

I finally found an old Airfix kit of HMS Ajax. The trouble with finding it was that the ship is listed as a destroyer and not a light cruiser. Got it in the mail yesterday and it is the same kit I remembered from before. Glad to get it.
