With that real live reference at hand Andy, I think you'd do a great job. Must admit, the size, and detail, appeal to me, even though I don't have any interest in ships as such. Problem is, even if I did stump up the pennies, where the heck to put it!
(Oh dear! I've just thought of a diorama, based on a description in 'Focke Wulf Condor, Scourge of the Atlantic'. But how I'd get a 1/72nd scale Corvette and a 1/72nd scale Type VIIC U-Boat onto a shelf, I have no idea!!)
