Royal Navy Taskforce






I finished the latest additions to my 1/3000th scale mid-1960's Royal Navy Task Force this afternoon, with two Leander class frigates, two Daring class destroyers and two County class guided missile destroyers. I now have enough for a decent sized battlegroup, minus an aircraft carrier and auxiliaries which I'm saving for a rainy day, so will clear the decks for something different. I've enjoyed painting these up and will definitely be using some of the new additions for some scenarios, finishing off my Indonesian Confrontation solo campaign.

    I'm not sure if it's available in the UK, but an American TV series called 'The Last Ship' is pretty good to watch for a taste of modern naval warfare.

    Good work. Odd the Counties some green upper works. Do you know why?

    I thought it was odd too but it's accurate.

    great stuff, a few great additions, I must sit down and paint some more of my fleets. About to build a naval table next week, that will spur me on.

    cheers
