The HMS Cumberland model  is the only model NOT built by me; I saw her at the International Model Show at Olympia in London back in 1994 and at the time thought she was state of the art; subsequently when when offered for sale in Modelboats magazine I had to buy her, travelling a considerable distance and parting wiith a considerable amount of money....She is fully RC but has never been afloat in my ownership having been placed inside her large case immediately. With the benefit of the retroscope I know that while it is good it is alas not state of the art.... BUT nevertheless is a very attractive display model and makes a nice backdrop to the dining room It is built to a scale (IIRC) of 1/96 and was  scratchbuilt by Mr Jackson of Bristol UK. The original ship was launched in 1902 as a first class armoured cruiser for the Royal Navy.
