Westbourne was built by Cammel Laird & Co. Ltd. of Birkenhead for the Port of London Authority and used as a tender with the dredger fleet. She was converted to Diesel power in the fifties. The bridge was also fully enclosed. A one piece GRP hull forms the basis for the model. Deck and superstructure are CNC cut with screen printed overlays where required. Over 300 cast white metal fittings, vacuum formed ships boats, crew figures, ships dog and all necessary dowel, wire, cord and full size drawing with comprehensive instruction manual make this kit ideal as an introduction to scale ship modelling. |
