I've decided to split the Royal Navy painting plan into two bits, to make it more manageable and to enable me to get some models onto the table sooner rather than later. This means that the carrier, fixed wing aircraft and auxilliaries have been moved aside, to make way for the commando carrier, destroyers, frigates, minesweepers and submarines, as well as the required helicopters.
I also included the modernised HMS Blake helicopter cruiser in the schedule, as I have the model so might as well paint it while I wait for the other one to arrive from Navwar, alongside some new shiny things like Type 15 and Whitby frigates, Daring class destroyers and even some Sparviero FAC's, that I'm going to try to use as ersatz Komars for the other side.
I will, however, have to try my hand at converting the back end of the Navwar Rothesey class frigates in order to de-modernise them. This requires the removal of the cast on helicopter, to be replaced by a well for the twin Limbo mortars, with a bit of surgery to the hanger to deconstruct it. I will probably cheat a bit to simplify this remodelling, so it shouldn't be too much trouble?
