P.&O. Lines ORIANNA and CANBERRA
You know that we don,t have enough liners to build . Well ,I thought I would get the one in SQUADRON,S catalogue some months back . To my dismay it was NOT the REVELL version . I do believe that the REVELL version was much better than what I now have . I think it is 1/200 scale ,but boy what a letdown . The hull at critical spots is at least a 1/16 ' thick especially in the afterdeck area . The ship has potential ,but , it,s going to take a lot of work . The sad fact is REVELL had some kickbutt neat liners for quite a while . The MOORE-MCCORMACK "BRAZILIA ' And others of interest . I have always wondered why the mfgr,s didn,t make models of the STOCKHOLM and ANDREA DORIA , talk about history makers ! Oh , they don,t make any of these in paper either . The other model I,d like to see is the NORMANDIE in say 1/350 or 1/250 scale. Now theres a liner that has been ignored by everybody !! . The liner I bought was ,by the way , was the ORIANNA.. Just to give you an idea , my BRAZILIA fell off the shelf . My SAVANNAH had been torpedoed by my little bro . SAVANNAH bow ,MEET BRAZILIA hull (and it worked with no filler or patches !!! tankerbuilder
