Info needed about Ross Revenge

Post by giulio_gobbi »

Good evening Gentlemen,
I've bought the Revell Northsea Fishing Trawler, and my goal it's to transform it into the Ross Revenge.

I need the scale plans, if exist.
Someone can help me?

It does look like a very similar vessel. Ive been doing a bit of research on the Revell kit as I have a plan to convert one to what is probably the most famous ex-Trawler. The Greenpeace Rainbow warrior. The kit is (I beleve but could be wrong here) based on one of the ships built in the Aberdeen shipyards. Later in life some of these ships were lengthened but the kit looks like it was done before this, a check on the vessel length would help here. Sorry I ca't be of more help here.

All the best.
