If someone can find this model and do a full walkaround that'd be ridiculously appreciated. DL-1 is one of the most under-sourced ships I can find and was essentially a test-ship for a wide variety of weapons (most of which were short-lived beyond this vessel).

I have this ship on my work/wish list. This ship is one of my favourites 'Cold War' era ships, and it is quite rare to find any info on her.

I think I might have some stuff on this one; so I'll get a candle and go down into the vaults at Portsmouth Towers to see what I can find

Navsource as always has some good stuff.

THX mates. I also have quite a good reference drawing of the ship and of course the navsource site has invaluable images.

I'd love to see that reference drawing... I can never find any good sources for this ship.
