Some painting done.

Real modelling again.

Looking the part now, nice progress.

The parts are coming together, I am struggling to keep everything square and ship shape!

Thanks for your nautical advice!

Looking very nice Dave.

Started the next one, here is the progress so far,
My measuring and squaring skills really need to be improved.
I may have to use a lot of filler.
 
Martin may have a clue as to the type.

It might even be his era, he might even have sailed on her!
Built in 1936 by Swan. Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd of Newcastle.
She survived the war and was sold in 1959 sailed to Japan with a load of scrap onboard and was broken up.
Sorry Martin, maybe a bit early for even you!

Looks like a Shell "H" boat - same type as the San Demetrio.  Yes I have sailed on this type many times.
Or am I miles out with the ship type.

No, spot on or just about.
British Endurance
Used by the British Tanker Co.

Very much the same type of build - my dad was on the British Pride during the PQ8 convoy. I backdated the modern kit to do it (should be on the web site still) - yours is looking great I should have fully scratch built mine but was lazzzzyyyyyyy

I'll try to find it, but it depends what you called it.

Another good start Dave.
