Just to pick nits - the ship you have named as Prince of Wales is one ot the other KGV's, POW carreid her aircraft to the end - the others landed thiers and used the catapult space to stow boats.  ;)

It was what I got sent from Davco, looks like it's the post 43 AA refit, as their early KGV class, listed as Pow, was out of stock. Beggars can't be choosers...  8)

Odd that- did visit the factory once - wanted Hood, out of stock so they spun up the caster and ran one off for me.
