The HMS Ark Royal was a cutting edge design in her day. She was the first carrier designed with hangars and flight deck integrated into the hull, instead of as an add-on or part of the superstructure. She was designed to carry a large number of aircraft which US planners thought translated into battlefield survivability. Her distinguishing feature is how much of her mass resides above the waterline. She was torpedoed and sunk in November 1941.
The Ark Royal comes fully magnetized to hold two aircraft. Purchase a loaded carrier and get a discount on magnetized aircraft.
We use color to differentiate land based and carrier based planes of the same sculpt. We designate the early war paint scheme to the land-based Spitfire & Mosquito, and the late war paint scheme with no invasion stripes for the naval variants.
The optional assembled damage marker by Combat Miniatures makes a great game addition.
Note: The Ark Royal carriers are an HBG game piece and availability is dependent upon this external source.
