Here’s a list of the major kits. HMS Illustrious, Jump Jet/Short Take of and Vertical landing carrier (CVH), R06, Airfix model kit 14301. HMS Daring, Type 45, Guided missile Destroyer (D32) DDG Airfix. HMS Kent, Duke Class, Type 23 F78 Guided Missile Frigate (FFG) Trumpeter. HMS Triumph, Trafalgar Class, S120, Nuclear attack Submarine (SSN) Airfix. All of these models, as shown, have been professionally built, painted, detailed, and have had after market Photo etch and Resin parts added, and in the case of the Illustrious, a lighting system for her hangar bay added. All sensors are detailed, as well as equipment including the tow trucks for the carrier, personnel are on the bridge of the carrier and the Daring, as well as in various ships boat bays and the towed sonar are under the flight deck of the Kent. The amount of detail is amazing. The Illustrious was famous for having been rushed to the Falkland at the very end of her outfitting before finally shakedown cruise could be accomplished and relieving the HMS Invincible which had been on station there for several months. The Illustrious remained there until proper air defense could be arranged on the islands themselves with a new runway, hangers, air radar and air control put in place. This is a very well done group. The Daring was commissioned in 2009 and the Illustrious was decommissioned in 2014, and the two did sale together in groups like this. With the Kent and the Triumph being in operation throughout that five year period, it is quite possible that all of them, at one time or another sailed together. In some cases one and in other cases several of these ships and the boat (a submarine, even the larger nuclear subs are always referred to as boats by naval personnel) were involved in the Falklands War, the Kosovo War, the two wars in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and the fighting in Syria, as well as too many training and operational programs to mention and list.
