Ok here's this
Are any of you familiar with REVELL'S offerings ? Seems they had both of these sister liners in the sixties . Not paper but beautiful nonetheless . I have one now , not REVELL but large and beautiful , if a little thickly molded .I would like to see it in cardstock in say 1/200 .Could do a lot of detail that way .
These were indeed a pair of very attractive ships . Rode the Oriana as an invited crew-member of a ship that illegally paid off outside the States .Got to go super-cargo on her . Darned fine ship and crew !

i have seen the revell oriana model and the airfix canberra model both in plastic.i have found a nice card model offered as a freebie of oriana and there is one of our designers working on a canberra model in card at 1;200 scale
