The rules I intend to (first) use are Fletcher Pratt .. then we will see where that takes me. With this purchase I now have:
- HMS Ajax (Airfix 1:600)
- HMS Exeter (Waterline 1:700 or an Old Russian 1:500 kits)
- HMS Achilles (Airfix 1:600 conversion)
- KM Admiral Graf Spee (Airfix 1:600 or Waterline 1:700 KM Deutschland)
Lets see how long it tales me to make and paint them.
Update:
From Bankinista, many thanks: Airfix Magazine Nov 1965 has an article on converting the Ajax kit to the Achilles at the time of the River Plate:

That looks like a fun thing to do although it was always a shame that Airfix didn't do waterline versions of their kits. My Graf Spee was blown up with fireworks at some point in the mid 1970s!
Having played our version of Fletcher Pratt at full scale in London, I recommend getting a laser measurer (as used by architects) which makes measuring ranges of ten or twelve feet rather easier than using an enormous tape measure.
