	British Navy Ships--HMS Furious (1917-1948)
		HMS Furious, a 19,513-ton aircraft carrier, was built at Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.
		Furious operated actively through the inter-war years, continuing her pioneering work as a platform for developing seagoing aviation techniques and combat doctrine, as those applied to the situations confronting the Royal Navy.
		In the later 1930s, her small forward aircraft flying-off deck was converted to a gun platorm and she was refitted with a small "island" superstructure amidships on the starboard side of the upper flight deck.

		I was fortunate to have been loaned a set of NMM plans --this established after a session armed with paper and calculator that the assembled kit would be between 2.2 and 2.3mm to tall, this in itself is not a vast measurement, in a 1/700 carrier it upset the visual balance of the model!
		HMS Furious was initially rebuilt without any kind of Island structure, conning of the ship being carried out from two 'pods' port and stb of the forward edge of the flightdeck as well a retractable navigation 'bridge' in the forward center position of the flightdeck.

		Photos of the Furious at this time show that the forward flight deck was constructed over the original deck during the refit.
		Worth it in my view as this is how Furious would have looked at the strike at Tondern, but just after the war she was painted in Atlantic Fleet colours (dark grey) which does give you another option.
		I have always liked the Furious so it's a pretty good bet that I'd like anything that helped me to build her just as she was in that photo which so fired my imagination.
