That's a nice model Brian! There is another (B&W) photo of Imara in her guise as Perseverence and taken from the port bow quarter. PM me with your email addy and I'll show you! Incidentally, it clearly shows the anchor very close to the water line. In this photo, she still has an open bridge.
I would have posted a link, but it seems not to work any more.
