The Ship Model Forum

A lovely model of a really unusual subject.

Beautiful, so nice to see something really different. Are there drawings available?

Hello again:
The same team that made the battleship Sao Paulo (already posted), finished another ship, the riverine patrol ship "Paraguassu" made in Brazil in 1931:

The model is not as big as the "S�o Paulo", but, it was made the same way:

The name Paraguassu is from a river that cuts the brazilian state of Bahia..
The ship was retired and is now waiting its time to be transformed in pots and nails in a shore in Rio de Janeiro.

Below, the real Paraguassu, in WWII, with gray painting:
