Jim Baumann, Keith Butterley, Marc Flake and Shane Weier have also sent in some pictures of models they have been working on - glad somebody's modelling as I've forgotten where my workbench is -( John Rich also sends in a review of the QM2 by Airfix while Bob Pearson looks at Samek's USS Alaska. Max Cosby shows what can be done with an Airfix Warspite with his article on HMS Barham sinking while Shane Weier builds the IJN Kumano. Both show what can be done with a bit of patience and presumably a sharp No. 11.

Dutch Abraham Crijnssen, Amsterdam, Dan Helder Liners Queen Elizabeth 2 1983 Updated the following Reference Pages Australian HMAS Brisbane Civilian Ferries Liners Queen Elizabeth 2 USA USS Constellation, USS Kittyhawk Last but by no means least, the archives were updated with volumes 2619 - 2688.
