As an extra the Fort class AFSH at the time of Falklands did not have the satellite TV done fitted as prominent in the model and the LPD did not have green LCVPs they were never ever green. Shame really otherwise nice models.
I think they are RFA Fort Austin (Albatros) to the left with RMS Canberra (Mercator) centre and HMS Intrepid (Albatros) to the right. All we’re together during the Falklands war in 1982 but the models also have in common deck painting errors. As mentioned Canberra flight decks are not correct, Fort Austin had then wooden decks at bridge deck level so not grey and if it is Fort Grange she had wooden deck on top of bridge as well. The Intrepid also I think had wooden decks in some part of the accommodation levels of superstructure. The trouble with some of these more expensive models is that not only do they cost more, maybe more accurate in detail but lack correct colours in painting and Albatros cannot keep deck paint on the decks only and it goes everywhere.
Identify these ships (and models) and a historical connection between them:
