## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have inquired about the dimensions and have had several different replies.  I need to know what size case to buy can you help with the dimensions?**
A: My model is still in the build stage  length of hull stated on box 1398.3mm Beam 136.9mm the height will vary depending on the base you use . On the kit supplied plinths you will need 380mm . Mine is having a full light and sound system fitted so I have had to construct a wooden box type stand to house the electronic control units .I hope this helps? 
Note: I do not use display cases for any of my models they are working models which are large detailed scale warships ranging from 3ft long to 6ft long , the cost of cases is prohibitive !
