Is your hull of the tanker made of wood or plastic?

Cool! Salem looks much more interesting with this pattern!

Hi Bob! My technology is rather simple indeed. Usually I use two sheets of polystyrene (?1 - deck plane, ?2 - waterline plane) and fill all space between them with acrylic putty. In case of this tanker - shapes of the hull are rather narrow and flat and it is not difficult to make the model by hands.

Sorry for my English.

Two very nice builds. I really like the tankers' hull plating.

Ferzy,

The tanker hull is very crisp, absolutely like it!

Evgeny,

Have you seen this http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/171532.htm? No plans but one bad photo in dazzle paint (and an interesting deck load cargo).

Your models are excellent, look forward to seeing more.

You may want to ask Auke Visser. he only has the 1921 Java Arrow on his website but if anyone knows where to find information on tankers of Standard Oil and the '7 sisters' its him.
The 1921 Java Arrow can be found here:
