I'll probably be selling a completed, armed WWI armoured cruiser this summer when a replacement ship is completed. Like all of my models I made the fiberglass hull and glassed a fiberglass deck to the hull so it's a strongly built unit. HMS Minotaur is equipped with 3 BB cannons, of which it can use 2 at once. It can be battled with dual stern guns or a bow and a stern gun, and can be used under Washington Treaty or IRCWCC rules by switching props and pump outlets.
The Defence Class were the biggest British WWI armoured cruisers. The model is unique, with no other 1/144 fiberglass Defence Class hulls in existence. The hull is a stretched version of my HMS Duke of Edinburgh hull, now sold by Strike models. It will be sold with everything except the radio and receiver and has 4 Futaba servos (pump, rudder, throttle and guns). Cost will be in the $600-$700 range.
