RETIREMENT!
Am I going to spend more time on my build, or what!
I made the following findings while searching for some new fotos:
1. There is a distinctive difference between Smit Nederland and Smit Finland and other sisters. You can tell, it's Smit Nederland even if you cannot read the name. S.N. has a vertically extended bulwark in bow. This is why the Billings kit has that shape. Since I am building Smit Finland, I removed the extension. All well!
2. A further sister, Smit Ierland, is the same shape as Smit Finland. More importantly, she is presently sailing under the Finnish flag, with the name DELFI. My original plan has been to build the UREKA IV (ex- Smit Finland), because - well you know - she's originally Smit FINLAND. But as UREKA IV is misbehaving (not engaging the AIS for positioning) I am thinking about changing the plan and divert to DELFI.
3. DELFI has got a crane nowadays. I will self-educate myself on building cranes. Future will tell, if I ever learn
Btw, Smit Japan is also in Finland, with the name LEONARDO. But she is not sister to Smit Nederland.
