Hi, anybody have any idea if there is a model of any sort of transport ship available in roughly 1:200 scale? Any help appreciated. |

Are you sure you mean 1/200th? That is museum size for most of the ships your talking about. A Liberty ship would come out at roughly 27" long. That said, do they have to be models of real ships, or just a representation? Old Glory makes a tramp steamer in "25MM"

frog/novo/eastern star do the shell welder coastal tanker it is in 1/130, so a bit bigger but you could modify it for 1/200, what sort of vesel do you want?
the shell tanker is about 14in long.
i have bought quite a few from ebay. |

A bit more of a description of what I'm after! They will be used to represent Japanese transport ships. Yes I do mean 1/200. Less would be fine 1/150 ish. yes a representation would be fine as long as I don't expect to get an exact match. The sort of cargo type ship that many nations used and would have been used to carry troops/supplies etc. A foot long sounds about right! |
