1/543rd scale? C'mon, everyone knows about the 1/540th scale, why not use that?

I'm just wondering about the math to be honest, I think they made the cast then just measured it to find out what scale they ended up with.



Is that Russian? It does look pretty sleek.

i think its actually the first PLAN design if im correct . i know the last class they had was the ski-jump design taken from the russians

i drank with some royal navy guys in Gibraltar back in 1991 who were vets of that conflict and saw some horrendous stuff. they told a bunch of stories and were clearly very effected still. dont know how much they talk about it in the UK these days , but here , like most history , its a forgotten episode.
