Info on a WW2 ship

Thanks guys.  I had found navsource.org and got the idea from that.  Thanks for the link to Loose Cannons site.  Preciate the help.

 

 

thanks

 

Ed beat me too it - I have not built Loose Cannon's Alamoso-class freighter, but I have built two of their 1/700 class Victory ships - great little kits - and both Hugh and Dave are good people to work with and will help you in any way you can.

According to NAVSOURCE, the Nicollete was based on a C1-type cargo ship hull, and was derived from the Alamosa-class freighter.   The one photo of the Nicollete at NAVSOURCE seems to show the deckhouse aft with T-shaped derricks.   There are other photos of Alamosas under the AK heading at NAVSOURCE which confirm this

Your best bet on an Alamosa would be the offering from Loose Cannon

The website says that it is a coming product, but I would check with Hugh Letterly at Loose Cannon to check on availability
