Two small "off the top of my head corrections". Airfix never did a 1/600 Titanic back in the day and Devonshire should be in Modern Warships. Although you're pushing it a bit calling them as I think they may have all been scrapped by now.

Interesting what you say about being pantographed from the original buck. It makes sense and it's interesting that the original bucks were still around. I doubt Airfix would consider doing more using the Pantograph method as it has long been replaced by CAD and the skills may not even still exist. A 3D scan followed by clean up in CAD would be the way to do it now. However it would be easier to start the CAD from scratch.

Still we can live in hope. I'm slowly teaching myself CAD and one of my little projects is to design and print 1/1200 Destroyers and Cruisers but don't hold your breath.
