1/400 FINNJET-R.o.G.

Hi Tankerbuilder!

I have it here. Just opened it to check it for you.

For me it looks quite good. Not huge amount of details but I think enough to make nice model. Just noticed that the one piece lower hull part is warped

Decals looks nice. Maybe blue is bit too dark. Not much.

Biggest "failure" in my opinion is that the front propellers are just made by rised line. Those are the first things that I´m going to correct. And the line of the front hatch is missing

one thing to me is that the model represents updated ship from 1987 instead the old one what I want to make. Some small structure changes, but not much.

I still can remember back in 1982 when we went to Travemünde from Helsinki. 30 knots in quite stormy conditions. The ship bumped and shivered more like a small boat than a big ship.

Hope this helped

I rode on her twice- Stockholm to Turku.

All night party and the Turkish Steam bath was a highlight.

Well if you rode straight from Stockholm to Turku that was different ferry. Finnjet was never on that route. But if you came Stockholm-Travemünde-Helsinki-Turku rote then you propably rode with it from Traveünde to Helsinki.

The routes she made here were Helsinki-Travemünde, Helsinki-Tallinn, Helsinki-Muuga (Tallinn), Helsinki-Tallinn-Rostock, Helsinki-Riiga and St Petersburg-Tallinn-Rostock.

You are probably right, another Silja Line ship.
