Are you asking for nominations?
If so, off the top of my head - near enough to 1:148
Scott's "Discovery"
The "Wasa" (the famous Swedish ship that sank on launch) - I thought that would be good for a "Golden Hind" type city scene
There is a lightship to 1:144 I think
Quite a few submarines
The illusive "Shell Welder"
And this container ship I saw in the Liverpool transport museum (not a kit!)

Cheers Jon :)
Revell produced a Fletcher class destroyer (and the post war German version of this). They are now hard to find and are getting rather pricey. I imported mine from Germany. It's still waiting to be built along with the Revell trawler that I have. The layout needs a couple of extensions before these can be used.
There is also a tank landing craft and a missile boat that have been produced.

The Trawler has been mentioned a few times on the forum. The most in depth is here (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=28890.0)...
In summary it is a decent kit, representative of several boats of the 1960s...
I have a few kits, some in the stash like the trawler already mentioned. I built that as a kid and it is likely to wait while I build new stuff. Same for the SRN4 hovercraft that is in the stash. I have Cutty Sark too, but the 1:150 will probably not get built as I also have it in 1:96 (I think), and over 3 foot long hull. I have the Goodwin lightship, also unbuilt.
As for the built ones... the Shell Welder is a great kit, when combined with the White Ensign etch kit for fine railings and so forth. I renamed her "Rosalind Franklin".

The Langley Tid tug is also lovely when built.

I have the Noch tug too and I plan to Anglicise it a bit, if I can.
And, although supposedly 1:125, Cousteau's Calypso doesn't seem too far out of scale, and I chose to model it in its stored and decayed state after a decade of legal battle over ownership.

There is also a Tomix/Kato tug boat. I have one but it looks a bit too small compared to the Revell American tugboat "Lucky" that I bought and kit bashed to make it less American looking.
I wasn't able to find out whether there is a standard size for tugboats but I seemed to get away with the probably oversized kit bashed Revell boat.
Love the Calypso! :thumbsup:
Whilst browsing for something completely different, I found this a few days ago;

It is a little 'top heavy' for a UK passenger ship-but I think it could be kit bashed into something quite useable n 'N'.
More difficult to use, I think, but at least it its almost the correct scale; :)

Heller also used to do a Grand Banks (Basque?) type trawler some years ago-I modified one and did an article for 'Railway Modeller' with the result. It was about 17 years ago....

Don't forget Gramodels Clyde puffer if you need something a bit more compact.
Hi All

Thanks for that link! :thumbsup:
I might put an order in for those rowing boats - they look kinda cute. I have tried on several occasions to make my own out of cardboard and even plasticard without success.
1:160 steam tug (90ft)

How did you do the naming along the prow?

Printed onto Crafty waterslide decal paper with my inkjet, sprayed with acrylic archival 'varnish' to waterproof and applied the decal, followed by a quick coat of acrylic.
Same at the stern...

The steps in that shot are part of the White Ensign etch. 👍
