HMS Exeter heavy cruiser

HMS Exeter

Scale 1/500

Also see "The Sea Wolves!" set (1965).
The Exeter was a heavy cruiser but the boxes of the first issue were labelled Battle Cruiser by mistake. At first the word "Battle" was simply inked over, but later on stickers with the correct text were glued onto the boxes. For the 1974 issue the kit was slightly modified, e.g. by adding a Walrus aircraft.

OVER THE COUNTER

Competitions to stimulate sales are so commonplace nowadays as to be almost mandatory in some trades, one might imagine, to produce any sales at all. However, when one can have the chance of three days with the Royal Navy simply for assembling and painting plastics which one would have built anyway—it becomes well worth " having a go." International Model Aircraft Ltd. announce an out-of-the-rut approach in their " Frog Navy Competition." This is in conjunction with their kits for the Hawker Sea Fury,Westland Wessex aircraft and H.M.S. Exeter, Torquay, Undine and Revenge ship models. Competitiors are required to purchase either the new " Sea Wolves " pack (which contains four Frog kits, with paint, brushes and cement) or any four of the above-mentioned individual kits. This does require, of course, an interest in marine models as well as naval aircraft—but there are doubtless many to whom this will apply. The 36 lucky prizewinners will spend their three days with the Navy visiting a R.N. submarine and a R.N. air station, after which they will actually put to sea in a Warship. . . . Your local model shop has entry forms.
