A few weeks ago, a fellow club member posted that he had some ship models he wanted to give away, and that one of them was fairly large. With the thought of converting it to RC, and thinking it was a large plastic model, I bit and went to pick it up. It turned out to be a little more than I expected. This is HMS Belfast, a British light cruiser that served in WWII and Korea and is now a museum ship in London. Not a plastic kit by a long shot - the model is just shy of six feet long and looks like it could be a museum build. A lot of internet searching turned up a lot of nothing on ship models this size, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Is this a kit or a custom build? And there are quite a few small deck fittings, some life rafts, the port anchor and all four screws missing - where does one find replacement parts like that? Any help would be appreciated. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it, but the RC conversion is no longer an option.
