The Ship Model Forum

attempted to signup with fb but they wanted a short video of me but as I do not have a smart phone nor a camera attached to my computer, I cannot complete signup. says I can send a picture instead of video but instructions was for video so again cannot complete signup.
I think I found the email for triumph models in china as it mentions the unicorn when doing a search on the net so emailed them about possible problems with the cad & included a link to this thread so it is wait & see.

the island's sponson is to low as should be level with the bottom of the aircraft/boat crane sponson other words between the 2 decks of port holes not covering the 4 port holes the cad shows. also the aft end of the flight deck should be rounded as in a ramp not flat like the rest of the flight deck, look at the plan & stern picture.

They are usually responsive if you message them on FB. If you are on FB, share your thoughts with them, while there may be time to make changes.

The red blocks are located where openings should be yes.
I don't want to jump the gun here, because that's clearly still a work in progress and subject to change / refinement, but the stern where the hull curves above the rudder and props looks [i]rough[/i].

there are problems with that model, bilge keels are in wrong location & to big, the skeg does not look right. look at these pictures for possible more issues. are the red area supposed to represent hull openings?

Meh, I don't see much of an improvement over the ancient 1/400 resin kit sold in Italy.

Typical, you wait years for a Canarias then two come along within a couple of months though both are 1940s fit not SCW.

Typical, you wait years for a Canarias then two come along within a couple of months though both are 1940s fit not SCW. Just finished building the Seed Hobby Canarias and I am very pleased with the result. It might be all 3d printed but it is a proper kit with a lot of PE as well. On the other hand I think it is 8mm to long to be true to scale. Looking at the Niko Model's web site their kit looks a little simpler and perhaps slightly less detailed but Niko make some nice stuff and the Seed Hobby version did stretch my modeling skills...
I was about to order another Seed Hobby Canarias to build as her ill fated sister ship Balearies and I dont think I will change my mind and order the Niko Models instead. But it is great to have a choice.

The Canarias looks real interesting to me. It’s my mothers side of the family.
