Jase I remember seeing on britmoddler that White Ensign did a resin 1/700 kit of the Sir Tristram Round Tableclass trawler. Unfortunately I have not been able to find one for sale, I dont know about the other ships

I've had a quick look and can't find any matching models, you may need to look for models ships of the same class that can be modified.

Found a Sir Kay which is also a Round Table class trawler, perhaps it could be converted to a Sir Tristram http://pages.ebay.com/li...00112825050&alt=web

Thanks for the help guys. I think the Sir Tristram I am looking for is the post war ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFA_Sir_Tristram_(L3505) J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Jase Did you mean the WW2 Trawler or the Falklands era Fleet Supply type. I don't know of any kits but the local Antics did have a collection of modern RN types, quite small scale 1/700?, ready made collectors items (and expensive as I recall!)Might be usable in a diorama though. Robin First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

Thanks Robin, they would all be post war ships. and non of them 'sexy' enough for main stream manufacturers i was hoping to find a resin one possibly, but no luck so far J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
