This was the first name of the SOYA in 1938 used in the China theater of war. A year later she was rechristened the SOYA. Started with an other Soya kit, remover the 1959's hull blisters and reversed "shark fin" over rudder. Cut down the aft deck,and main cabin so far. I have to figure the conversion back to single screw. Started with this version I bought for the brass.

Squeezed in a bit of time on her. Here is some of the major hull mods (with more coming) a bit on the bridge, stack and radio room.

Really good to have you back Paul ( 41chevy)!! I truly admire you ship modeling buddy and this one is no exception to that rule. Excellent painting , detailing and makin' her look "used and abused". A real gem of a build brother.

Thats beautiful work! You captured the essence of the everyday workhorse freighters with this build.

I missed the finish of this somehow. Great weathered look to this ship! Definitely a subject that you don't see built everyday
