HMS Eagle R 05, mid-1950's

This is an old (1976 vintage) kit of the Cold War era HMS Eagle, purchased from eBay.

Needless to say, it had many problems, but the final result was OK I think. A full report on the misadventures involved in its construction can be found in my web page marcellorosa.com/1-700-hms-eagle-r05

The only aftermarket item was the 1/700 BigBlueBoy British modern railing set. All other "upgrades" were home-made. I am presently considering placing it in a sea diorama base. Will post updated photos if this happens.
