A 1/1250 scale metal model of Rex the only Italian ship to win the Blue Riband of the Atlantic.


Rex remained in Italy during WW2 and was left in her civilian colours and not used for trooping. Hovever, she was seen to be raising steam, possibly to be used as a blockship and a squadron of rocket firing Beaufighters soon had her blazing end to end and sinking.  A sad end to a magnificent ship.

Empress of Britain is a 1/1250 scale secondhand waterline metal model in very good condition, see photograph. The hull is marked underneath, "Made in West Germany" but some of the early models produced by Skytrex in the UK were also so marked, so this is not definitive. The masts and king posts are of the earlier type of injection moulded plastic but some parts have been replaced by metal. The box is a Sktrex box and the funnels appear to have been re-painted in a lighter shade of yellow, The photo is of this model.

A 1/1250 scale metal model of Majestic White Star Line transatlantic liner 1920s-1930s by CM Miniaturen.

As part of War Reparations for the loss of Britannic, White Star was allocated the German Liner Bismark completing in Germany at the end of WW1. She operated alongside Olympic and Homeric as the largest ship in the world until the merger with Cunard forced the new company to rationalise. Majestic was slated for scrapping and her funnels and masts cut down to pass under the Forth Bridge for Rosyth dockyard. In 1938 the Admiralty requisitioned the ship to train cadets for the growing Royal Navy and she became HMS Caledonia. Unfortunately she caught fire and became a constructive total loss and was scrapped at Rosyth as manpower permitted in stages until 1948.
