Title: RIVER CLASS MINESWEEPER & CHANT COASTAL TANKER
Post by: Propslip on September 04, 2010, 10:42:00 am

Anyone got any close up detail photos or other reference material of either of these, the Royal Navy River Class Minesweepers, HMS Arun etc or the Chant type coastal tankers.

I do have the plans & some photos from books, but you know how it goes, you build using what you have, then find a goldmine of photos the day you finish!!!

I have a river class { believe its a Sirmar kit) of the Carron which I am thinking of letting go.

I have all the photos I aquired of CHANTs for my build. The model is finished and the photos or A4 copies of such, are loafing around waiting to go to a good home. PM me if you want them stuck in an envelope?

I built the Science Museums Chant model that is still on display in their Ship Gallery .
 I will soon be taking down to Fleetscale the 1/48 hull mould for them to run along with a lot of my other moulds to add to what they have already.
