Your source is wrong. This is definitely the Aurora Jan

I'm pretty sure it's aurora.... Potemkin (the 'mutiny'-one) was a battleship, with much heavier superstructure Jan

Interesting one. You don't see these ships modelled too often. Why do you date her 1942? As far as I know she was build 1937. 19/2 was her first action in combat. I guess you kow this one: http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&database=ChoiceMardig&needimages=true&searchterm=tromp%201937&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 and some pics here http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&database=ChoiceMardig&needimages=true&searchterm=1942%20tromp&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 Problem is: I don't know whether this is the Bofors you need.... http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&saveToHistory=1&database=ChoiceMardig&needImages=YES&searchterm=bofors+tromp Jan

We all started liking the pic, as it is incredible that you do these lashings in this scale, but that's not an answer to your question. I can only refer to Lees and Marqhuardt: they don't show these lashings. That does suggest that it is of a later period... (although, as you seem to be looking at a way to get as many knots in a line as possible, that is not the answer you are looking for ) Jan

Problem is that all those old pictures are coloured nowadays. I'm pretty sure this is a WW-I hospital ship. (couple of yesr ago we had all those red-white ships in the game at MSW-1) Jan

Kind of norwegian Fjord in the background, or is it just aussi-land? Jan

I thought Steve's remark was a hint, but I coudn't figure out what kind of hint. Curiosity to the hint made me a sinner..... Jan

spoilsport Looks like a civilian in Amry service (at least, I think I can see a gun on the aft deck) Jan
-
There is a name on her, but I can't read it.... Something starting with an L and a J.... Jan
-
I think you're correct Unless the guy who put the colours into the pic, also added a name...... Jan

Henri IV, perhaps? Jan

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
