I want to say big thanks to:
dear colleague-modeler Alan (aka Herky) who introduced me with this great ship and always supported this build,
to Krzychu74 for some advises,
and all the others who followed this thread!!!

As the test model is finished, the only major work is left - the model issue itself. It wouldn't appear soon (as I'm quite bussy on summer) but I hope to produce one by the end of first half of autumn...

WOW,WOW,and WOW again.She looks incredible.I cant believe you have put so much effort into it.Results are better than i could have dreamed of.Will happily await release of this.Thank you again for all your time and effort

just a little point before you release her.she flies the red ensign from her stern not the blue ensign

Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to set her next to the Mauritania.

i have a space saved for her to go along my oriana kit.unfortunately the oriana model although basic is not in the same league as this one will be

I made a blue ensign because I saw such in one picture on W.H.Miller's book.
However colleague DougH done some research regarding your post and wrote me PM. Accordign to him Canberra might had such falg with an absence of Captain Dennis Scott-Masson - Master of the P&O liner Canberra during the Falklands war.

All in all I shall make both flags (red and blue) to select from.

you are spot on.she flew blue ensign in falklands because she was under military orders.as a merchant ship she would normally fly the red ensign
