One of eight vessels named after
the Knights of
the Round Table and which were to be known as the Round Table Class of
minesweeper. Based on a well proven hull design of a trawler 'The Star of
Orkney' built by Hall Russell of Aberdeen. Our kit is based on one built by Hall
Russell & Co. Ltd. and given the pennant no T241. All eight of the Round
Table Class minesweepers survived the war and were sold out of service and
conserved to conventional steam trawlers. Every inch of this model is stamped
with realism and is a feast of detail.
A GRP hull with molded external detail forms the basis of the model plus
styrene funnel, carley float, and boat moldings. Superstructure and deck are of
CNC cut ply with a printed deck overlay. Complete with all necessary rod, dowel,
wire etc. and a comprehensive cast white metal fittings pack allow the builder
to create their own masterpiece.
