Title: Sun XXVI
Post by: toesupwa on December 18, 2006, 09:01:27 am

Hi guys
I'm new here and thought you might like to see the latest project, just completed.
Many years ago i visited the real Sun XXVI on the Thames at Gravesend and a hull of similar shape came my way recently.. this is the result.

Hi toesupwa, and welcome,

Thats nearly a great model.
All was going well intill you fitted a Union Jack, and even worse, it's upside down.

I think that still carries the hanging sentence.   ;D

Take another look at that Union Jack Bob if he turns it the other way up it will still be upside down because its been printed wrong. ::)

Its the only one i could find to fit...  :P

As an Ex Brit in the US of A i had to show some modellers (allegedly) over here what a proper Tug should look like...

Try Becc http://www.becc.co.uk/becc_catalogue_pages.htm I'm sure they could fit you up. That's if you still want to fly the flag of course. ;D

Cheers
