Having nearly finished my semi scratch build of the Shannon class lifeboat (it took me 5 years...), I have started building the SS Falcon kit. When I told my friend Alan who lives in St Margarets at Cliffe about my new project, he told me that the wreck of the real ship still can be seen nowadays at low tide from the cliffs near Dover. So when we visited him last year, I was able to take a picture of the wreck. Alan told me that they used it as a playground when they were kids.
The SS Falcon model is a lot smaller than the 1/12th scale Shannon boat, so it is easier to get into the car boot for sailing with my club mates. But the kit despite the small size shows enough details to be impressive on the water.
