Thanks for that, the artwork isn't the problem usually, it's finding a suitable material to print it on so that it looks like the proper fabric. Yours looks superb, not like paper at all.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Many RN ships had a habit of flying the largest ensign they could find when attacking  :rolleyes:

Exactly.

As dad said. They didn't want the enemy to be any doubt whatsoever who was coming for them. He also said the ratings thought it was daft, but it made the officers happy  ;) As for the PO's ? He said it was just something else to shout at a rating over  :angel:

And apparently Nelson origionaly wanted it to read "England confides that every....." etc, but as Confides would have had to have been spelt out letter by letter, Pascoe suggested he change it to "expects"

Are you sure? I thought it was "England knows Lady Hamilton's a virgin. Poke my eye out and cut off my arm if I'm wrong."

Or was that at the Battle of the Nile?  :wacko:
