COMBRIG INDOMITABLE

1/700 Scale

The Indomitable model from Combrig also reflects the differences between the ships. Both Indomitable and Inflexible had the same turrets as fitted in Dreadnought, and this kit has the same pattern for all four turrets, unlike the two different turret designs in Invincible. Indomitable had her fore funnel heightened in 1910, and the Combrig Indomitable comes with the taller forward stack. The Invincible had all of her 4in guns in the forward superstructure in casemates in 1914, while the Indomitable had hers in open positions, except for the two on either side of the conning tower. With the three Combrig kits, the Invincible has the casemates for the forward superstructure, while the same part for Indomitable and Inflexible lack the casemates. However, this does present one small problem for the Indomitable kit as it should have one casemate on each side abreast the conning tower. One additional problem with the Indomitable kit is that the box states that it represents the ship in 1908, when her funnels were the same height. The instructions show that there are optional parts for the fore funnel – one short and one lengthened – but only the taller version is provided, which would represent the ship after 1910. The plan and profile drawing also shows Invincible, not Indomitable, but despite these quibbles, the parts are there for an outstanding kit.
