Thanks for comments Dennis It is going to be a static model but with removeable hatch covers, aft accomadation block and steering gear hatch it could later powered at at later date
I have tried to get it a near as possible but kit parts and drawing does not always agree with photos of actual ship.

Hi John, your model and this type of merchant ship look fantastic. I hope to progress to one of these for my next build. John K.

Hi John
Thank you for comments. If you build one let me know as there are a number of photos on web sites and a number of books with information. She was built with No 1,2 and 4 with Macgregor steel single pull hatch covers from new. No 3 had a different type of steel hatch to give larger opening by replace with old type boards and tarpalins later on. Converted to burn oil in may 1955. I reduced size of masts, derricks, vents and lifeboats because I felt what was in box was too large. Next time I get camera out I will take some more photos.
