What-ho fellow modellers,
Although my first love is Armour i am desperate to make a 1/350 scale of the Carpathia to go with the minicraft model of the Titanic that i am making as a present for my wife.After a long and fruitless search of the web i`ve turned up nothing.
Any help in this direction,even including any suggestions for scratchbuilding from donor kits would be welcome.

Hi Dann,
Welcome to Model Shipwrights!
SS Carpathia, eh mate?. . .well, to be honest with you, I don't know of a 1/350 scale producer of this vessel.
The only one that i know of is in 1/1250 (VERY small!) and can be found here
Sorry I couldn't be more of a help to you on this one!

Hi Danny,
Further to Mark's comments regarding 1/1200 Carpathia - In his book 'More Miniature Merchant Ships' by John Bowen (ISBN 0 85177 939 0) there are plans for Carpathia in 1/1200 scale. These could be scaled up should you want to scratchbuild.
Hope this helps
Jim S
