My grandfather served on HMS Warspite during WW2 in the med and Malta...The ship was hit and my grandfather had severe burns to his legs as he ran across a burning deck...I have his Royal Navy military records...I will get one of these kits (it would be wrong not to wouldn't it?) so your video is a great help
I've been wanting a model of this ship ever since I learned of it about a year ago on Drachinifel's youtube channel. So happy you made the comparison between the sets! :D
The turrets on the trumpeter one also seems..."fatter" than the academy one. Also Trumpeter is 1942 and Academy is 1943, so some of the differences could be down to refits/repairs/upgrades. There's probably also a bit of inaccuracy in the source material they have available. I'm going for the Academy one, it sounds like it's the better fit for my skills.
