JSC have a great model of this classic between wars liner.The model contains 1936 parts printed on 18 sheets of A4 card,Laser parts are also avalible for boats,davits anchors etc.The overall length of model is 78.5cm.Colours are true and accurate.The hull is built using JSC construction of lengthwise triangular beam with frames attached.The model is rated 4 out of 5 for difficulty and should not be beyond skills of most on here.Cover picture is unusual in that its a painting by polish maritime artist rather than a photo.Anyone who is into classic liners should give this a go.:)
