Cunard Steamship Co., Container Ship.
The "ATLANTIC CONVEYOR" and her sister ship "Atlantic Causeway" were taken up from trade at an early stage of the Falklands War, they were to act as emergency aircraft transports and carriers when at the Falklands, whilst on convoy to the Islands they were attacked with Exocet missiles and the "ATLANTIC CONVEYOR" was sunk with a large loss of life. She thus became the first British merchant vessel to be lost to enemy action since WWII.
With the full assistance of the Cunard Steamship Co, we have produced a fully detailed scale hull of this fast container ship, the hull features distinctive `bulbous' bow, full waterline, side `ACL' logo's, side loading doors, anchor recesses, panama ports and all other hull cut-outs. The hull is ideal for R/C. and electric power and makes an impressive and stable on the water model capable of sailing in rough conditions.
The plans are truly superbly detailed, being drawn for us by MARBETH DESIGNS, at `N' gauge the use of model railway containers make an ideal deck cargo and `Matchbox' harrier kits will complete a Falklands version, This is a big, beautiful hull with masses of interesting detail, yet thanks to the highly detailed plans easy to build by beginner or expert alike.
