The basic casting appears to be the same as the one used for the earlier QE. Similarly, most of the tampo printed deck and other markings are the same. The differences are in the 3 feathers emblem, the R09 number, 'P' deck identifier and the ships name, printed at the stern, in the smallest font I have ever seen yet still legible.
The most obvious differences between these two excellent models are the aircraft fixed to the flight deck.
PoW has fewer F35s and no Chinooks. The replacement aircraft are 3 x Merlins and 3 x Wildcat helicopters.These are very nice mouldings with acceptable rotors, which, sadly, serve to illustrate how silly the F35s look 'welded' to the deck.
Here's a few images. More on the 1250 FB Group later.
