Steamer boat Rita

Has anyone done a model of the steamboat "Rita" from the 1954 movie "Creature from the black lagoon?" Watched the movie the other day, and the boat looks kinda cool. Plus, Rita was my Mom's name, so it intrigued me. Sorry I couldn't find a better pic online. Guess this is what you think of when you're watching a movie mostly aboard a boat, while working on a model of a boat.

I couldn't find a model but I did find a picture, most though seem to be of segments of the boat. There are several movie and TV boats that I would love models of. This and the African Queen would make a nice pair.

I have never seen anyone design/build a model of "Rita".
But your mention of the movie brings back memories.
It was a creepy movie . . . with the boat in that dark lagoon . . . and the "creature" lurking somewhere below.
