Secondhand Mini-ships 1/1200 Superior 202B kit HMS Renown British battlecruiser 1942 kit

HMS Renown is a second-hand 1/1200 scale waterline metal kit of the British battlecruiser in about 1942. The kit was probably cast in the USA by Authenticast before Superior Models took over the company because the metal is different to that used by Superior and heavier than the metal for the accessories and since the heavier metal was more prone to corrosion, it has been sprayed with a coat of grey cellulose primer to seal and protect the metal surface, see photograph.
