Post by: mudway on June 07, 2018, 01:53:05 pm: She should be 883 mm long, a beam of 130 mm and displace 2.5 kgs. A nice vessel and a handy size too.

Post by: TailUK on November 26, 2019, 08:32:11 am: Nice model! The Thornycroft funnel looks great I always think it's a complicated arrangement to model.
Title: Re: Scillonian in 1/72
Post by: Channel on November 26, 2019, 10:13:00 pm: Looks great! I've ordered a Scillonian II hull to go with my Scillonian III order too!

Still one Scillonian III hull available if anyone interested.
