RMS Queen Elizabeth the second of two superliners commissioned by Cunard to provide a two ship weekly Trans-Atlantic crossing between Southampton and New York in conjunction with RMS Queen Mary.

When Lines Bros Ltd was broken up in the late 1960’s the “TRI-ANG” trade mark remained with Tri-ang Pedigree, another Line Bros subsidiary, while the “MINIC” trade mark was transferred to Hornby together with the tooling for the Minic Ships models.
All of the models produced under the Hornby Minic name were produced in Hong Kong after Hornby moved their manufacturing in the early 1970’s.
Hornby produced only a limited selection of the original models but also introduced four new models of famous battleships – USS Missouri, IJN Yamato, DKM Bismarck and DKM Scharnhorst.
All of the ship models produced under the Hornby Minic name were fitted with a red plastic base equipped with plastic rollers.
