The model illustrated shows the ship in her early years, with the original bridge layout
The hull is a one piece fibreglass moulding up to the deck line and including the raised focastle to ease construction. All plating and surface detail is moulded into the hull.
The main turrets are also fibreglass mouldings. The 12 inch gun barrels are Acrylic castings. Ships boats, funnells, D.C. towers etc are all vacformings, with optional extras available for precast ships boats as acrylic cast items.
Almost all other fittings requiring detail and strength, such as the 12 pounder guns, hatches etc, are cast in light alloy.
