can anyone identify this model ?
« on: October 27, 2009, 10:16:17 pm »
Hi all,

I recently traded this model for some model railway bits, and wondered if anyone could identify the model.

I know she is in need of some TLC, and possibly a re allocation to the POND POLICE or HM CUSTOMS, but it would be nice to be able to finish her as she should be.

that is assuming that she is a model of a real ship and not the product of someone's imagination.

I have looked on various sites but have not been able to find any photos of a similar ship.

she is just over 40 inches in length with a beam of 10 inches.

I'm sure that with all the knowledge on this site someone will sonn say " thats ...."

cheers

hi Godo,

many thanks for that. It's great to know what it is, and I'll get looking on the links you've given me.

most probably I'll come back to you with piles of questions in due course.

cheers for now

Hi,


I'm not expecting a response from this thread, as it's been 11 years since it was last touched. But I've recently been renovating my own Azteca class FPB, which was originally built about 35 years ago - from the same JB Mouldings hull which you presumably have there. This thread popped up in one of my random searches for information...


If I could figure out how to post an image, I'd do that (failing with incorrect credentials at the moment..).


It gave me a kick to know that at least one other person out there built this model!


Rob.
