It is a very attractive watercraft, and interesting story, and what looks to be a well-designed model.

It is also perfect for a quay-side feature of an HO-scale (1/87) model railway.

From where can one obtain this model?

Mr Leen Lems has send me some pictures of his terrific built of ¨Carlot¨.

A few remarks By Mr Lems:

Numbering of the parts is not consistent, therefore, take care fitting hull parts, depicted here.

Mr Lems used metal wire, wooden sticks as additional materials. Also the available lasercut detailset was applied.¨Wiring¨ for the aerials can be made out of cotton thread, soaked and waterbased glue applied to become stiff and elastic,
