WSW's small tramp,which will be sitting at the short side of the peer corner is mainly done. It still misses the crew, more deck cargo, like a car, and "integration items" like a walkway to the peer, mooring ropes, etc. I also did not place the starboard boat, and davit pulleys, as it will be coming alongside, with pulleys hanging down to the water level.. I just decided to leave them off so far, so I dont loose them!
WSW kit is now OOP, but contacting the manufacturer helped - he had a few copies of it left. Molding quality is good, no deformations, only a few bubbles along the waterline and easy to fix. I removed the molded on anchors, and added plating (first time for me) with Tamiya masking tape soaked with CA glue. I added PE from GMM's IJN Cruiser/Destroyer and Auxiliary sets, Lion Roar Anchors, rails, as well as leftovers from Loose Cannon Harriman set.
I had no exact prototype for the ship, but decided to paint it in Kelvin Line Co (sub-company of H.Hogarth and Sons line) which hold many small tramps at the time, and had an interesting livery with buff superstructure, and white bridge.
