THE MODEL (Builder: Roger Hauka)
The Hull and plans come from Jonathan Evans of HMCS Models. Some sub parts
are from various suppliers but essentially the ship is scratch-built. She's
53 in long and painted in the tropical paint scheme used by the Canadian
Navy at the end of the war.
She was built for a client who actually served on her.
