Drown the thing in a compound called "IMAL" and leave it soaking for a few hours. IMAL is made by Griffon.

While looking similar, Rowan was a Tree class armed trawler not a Flower class corvette.
Interesting idea though |

I, aehm.... I don't...
Buy kit, glue parts, if it floats I've got a new boat... Basically... Not much more to it... It's what is IN the boat, driving it, that gets my attention, but for that there ARE no drawings... |

Bonjour,
Would a large cleaning inside and outside with WD40 or equivalent would be useful ? But before, if the machine does not run, remove the cylinder heads to look for any possible traces of rust or other dirt possibly blocking. In all the cases, never force ! This is a common disease for cast iron made machines. |

Looking through the ships built by Smiths Dock I came across HMS Rowan.
It was rebuilt as a motor cargo ship in 1947. So if you have a spare Flower Class hull, here's something to do with it.. |

. I suppose, if I elaborate on that, I stuff everything I can find into a folder on my computer. Then print out what I need, re-scale the prints for a measurable clarity, then work out a factor of enlargement for laying out material and cuts. During construction I work around the model using different photos and views, on the computer, to work out proportions and layout of details.(all the cross referencing here). At some point it looks like this...  . |
