1/600 RH-5201 Airfix SS Canberra Ocean Liner - Lodela Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
From Airfix-Lodela. Very nicely molded and detailed, like most Airfix ships. The large 45,270 ton Canberra was a famous post-WWII P&O ship from the final glory days of ocean liner travel. She was very innovative and it is said that never were so many new concepts pressed into service on one ship. She could carry a total of 3,199 passenger and crew and turn 27.4 knots with her powerful turbo-electric drive. Pressed into service as a troop transport during the Falklands war and nicknamed the 'Great White Whale', she could have been a prime target of the Argentine Air Forces but escaped damage. Full hull kit with detailed recessed boat deck, individual life boats and full decals. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions.
