New ships joining the fleet

Post by nashorn88 »

After sea trials ( after painting ) new ships able to join the fleet.
I got these small ghq row boats from somewhere. Anyone know if they uses to be sold as a pack or extras with ship?
All you Naval guys out there can you determine the ships in pic?😉

Is it the SS Ohio used during Operation Pedestal?

It has the correct overall outline for SS Ohio, but also many other large tankers of the time. Dimensions of the model would be helpful in identifying the ship. SS Ohio was 515ft overall = 2.575 inches in 1/2400 scale, 5.15 inches in 1/1200 scale. Definitely not as during Operation Pedestal. Specifically, note the absence of gun mount on the fantail.
