This is a photo of an Airfix 1:600 scale plastic model of the WWI British battleship Iron Duke, probably best known for being Lord Jellico's flagship during the Battle of Jutland, 1916. It was named after Field Marshall Arthur Wellesley, 1st. Duke of Wellington.

Scrapped 1946 I originally bought the model to have as a bath tub "toy" as I don't have a rubber ducky, but as I started work on it, I got more and more engrossed in making "the perfect model" of it, so insted of being in the bath tub it's on the top of my living room book case! The thumb nail is also a photo of the model with a lot of Photoshop postwork to make it look like an old 1920s photograph. Enjoy! :)
