CalMac landing craft ferry-Mv Carvoria
I’ve been gifted a ready- made wooden pontoon style hull which I’m adapting into a model of the smallest CalMac ferry operating to the island of Kerrera from Gallanach(Oban)
The vessel is 12 m long and can carry up to 12 pax & 1 small vehicle . Motive power is a pair of Honda 80 outboard motors.
My model will be approx 1:24 scale powered by a brushed motor, with twin rudders. Eventually I intend to make dummy motors for the stern .
I am in dire need of some suitable CalMac decals . If anyone still has any surplus BECC ones from their own build I’d gladly make you an offer!
First pic with mock-up wheelhouse( probably oversize at moment!)
Progress reports in due course
