This has been a stop-start project and its been a real pain at times to get right but now I'm happy with it. Fearless is surprisingly short and it very top heavy looking with a massive structure and IMHO a overly tall mainmast. Still she has a functional beauty all of its own.
So, without further ado I present HMS Fearless as she appeared off the Falklands in May 1982. Note one of the LCVP Mk II is Foxtrot 7 which now resides with the Royal Marines Museum.

There is a line going over the propellar shaft that I dont think should be there but thats just a super easy thing to fix other then that its a great drawing!

To add anything is indeed superflous. This ship has been a long time coming.
Now for her looks as built?

Simply awesome, Hood! A true tribute to a 'fearless' workhorse! Now, if I could order up her in her late appearance, I'd be happy!

Aside from the aforementioned pixel glitch on the shaft, excellent work. Quite competitive with the finest ships of the bucket.
