Portman Productions 2020

One of my ambitions for this year is to stop leaving dead-end threads everywhere - my start vs completion rate at the moment is truly awful - so if it's alright with the Mod's I'm going to follow the Duke's lead and start one of these 'Workbench WIP' threads and see how it goes.
Asides from my ongoing Albanian builds and the Tornado GR.1, I've recently started this - details to follow.
When it arrives, I'm also going to be starting a model of this (for a classic British Ship kit GB on another forum) - any guesses as to what ship it is?
Cheers All!

Stuart, by all means, make a single build thread for all of your projects like Mark has going.
I’m gonna take a semi educated guess and say that carrier is HMS Ark Royal. I’m not up to speed on all the RN carriers of WWII. USN and IJN I’m pretty good with.

Thanks Carlos!
You are indeed spot on, it is the Ark Royal - I've just ordered the old (1966) Airfix 1/600 kit. Probably not the best idea for a first ship but it'll be fun trying! I'm hoping to start it next week when it arrives.

I thought it was Ark Royal. I built the old Revell 1/720 scale kit of her long ago, so the lines looked vaguely familiar. As far as the Airfix kit goes, older kits are usually simple to build. That is in its favor. I bet that it will be fun indeed. I look forward to this project of yours.

Yeah...
Not intentional but just how it worked out. I'm hoping to get a couple finished over the next few weeks!
