*chuckles at subfixer* Anything bigger than 1/700 is excessively huge, we ALL know that!

Hey! I don't read, I just have knee-jerk reactions to quick scans! Jeez! Scale? What's scale got to do with anything?

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Thanks Rod. I knew you would know. I do have that color sheet. It's good to know that it is correct.

 I built this kit about 10 years ago a friend has it.There was a color page that came with the model that was 1:1 scale for the model. This was pretty much spot on.Did you get one with your kit? Go to www.tallshipstock.com/winstonc.htm There's pictures of her last voyage in 2000. If you need a copy of that color page let me know.

I think you may have the wrong subject.   IIRC, the IMAI Winston Churchill kit is a tall ship.

The OP notes that the model is only about 4 inches long.  A Burke-class destroyer is over 500 feet long.  In the 1:350 scale noted, the model would be on the order of a foot and a half long.

I just picked up the 1/350 waterline version of this. It is a very nice kit, only about 4" long. Does anyone have any info on this ship such as paint scheme? Any pictures of railings etc. would be helpful.
