Having served on CANBERRA of P&O lines in the 70s im really struggling to purchase a card model of this ship,There was one ,deigned in the late60s early 70s by Ken & Rex Carr.It was printed by WJ Thurman.If anyone has this kit or knows where i can purchase it i would love to know.Being at the bottom end of the world i would happily pay any reasonable price for this kit and any post or packaging involved or a small finders fee if anyone was able to buy it overseas.i have only one question regarding the kit itself and that is what scale it is.Heres keeping fingers crossed that someone can help

None whatsoever but used to live in Pompey so would see her a lot. A ship with very graceful lines. Sadly she is gone and a lot of the liners just look like blocks of flats now. Have you got the Airfix plastic one as I know a place where you can buy at a reasonable price.
