    Oceanic refit
    Well here goes the first steps of Oceanic's refit. She is around 40 years old, ABS hull with a wood / ply superstructure with transfers for the topsides detail!! There are a couple of motors, unidentified make, a pair of 2mm shafts with a couple of plastic three bladed props and a
    singe barn door rudder
    . So far research has thrown up that the original ship is still active. Photos and articles tell me she runs 4 bladed Variable Pitch Props in Fixed Korts with three rudders. One on each Kort and one midships, which could be a Becker Flap Type! As i have no details of the model a tank test has been expedited to estimate the load she will carry. Five cans of beans and the Superstructure and she is not far off. So I have around 2 kg to play with. Sounds a lot, but still need to keep the imagination in check, if nothing else to spare the wallet any undue pain!! First stab at a build list is attached as a starter for ten for my Christmas Wish List Plus i am thinking of adding a 3d printer as this baby is 1:87 so bits will be harder to find, so best start making a few myself!! More as I progress guys. Ian
