These are the B, C, and "Shelt" type coasters. These were meant for service in the Far East, primarily around Malaya during and after the scheduled British invasion there. Also for post war use, of course.
B and C types were also built on the Canadian West Coast, and it was these that started me on this topic.
I'm primarily interested in the "B" Type. 215 Feet waterline, 224 feet overall. Appreciate it if some nice person could do the artwork...

RE: Book Report: Merchant Ships 1949-50
Thanks. That list must be getting quite large...
Forgot to add: the "C" type were 151 feet overall (144 waterline) and the Shelt 148 ft overall and 143 waterline.

Thanks for the info on the 49-50 Talbot-Booth, Don. Guess I'll save some money and not go for that one. I ordered the 42 version a few back, hopefully it should arrive soon. Looking forward to it.
RE: Book Report: Merchant Ships 1949-50
Here's KPM DeKlerk in both gray and black hull. Modders choice. I'll upload everything when the package is done because it's possible I may make changes.

Have a great day!![:)]

Superb!
Many Thanks!
The hull color versions can even be used for ship upgrades (black for the peacetime [1941] version, grey when in military use later after class upgrade).

I have "Ugly Ducklings". It's primarily Type A, but has some data on the others. More data in the text, like speed (13 max, 10 economical). Have not found endurance and have no reference for AE specs like maneuver or durability.
Here are a couple of scans. First is summary of Japanese Standard Types. Second is detailed specs on a Type 3A completed post war.
Excellent stuff and very helpful! Thanks! Now I only have to find out the net tonnage and/or fuel capacities for them.

These are the 'Ottawa' coasters, correct?

Sorta... Both the "B" and "C" coasters built in Canada had the Ottawa prefix. There were also some of all three types built in Britain (B, C, Shelt). The British built "B"s had Empire prefix.
For the Ottawas, see:

RE: Book Report: Merchant Ships 1949-50
Thanks guys!
Found a couple artist renditions for pre war color cross reference. I included a second Anglo Saxon tanker. Next up will be the Eagle Oil tankers but because of a busy week may be just researching.

Excellent. Btw., you got the Anglo-Saxon tankers right (referring to the deleted/edited contend of your last post). Yellow funnel, with black top.
RE: Book Report: Merchant Ships 1949-50
Thanks Kereguelen, I had some time I thought I wouldn't have today so should be done with Eagle Oil tankers minus some fine tuning.

Enjoy!
Next up California Class...

Enjoy!

RE: Looking for Shipart
Here's California Class Passenger Ship , as I mentioned earlier I came away with some pretty good pictures of these and the artwork depicts the version that was painted in 12/41. I wish the art reflected how much time I spent on it but it doesn't.
Enjoy!!

I had a computer issue this morning and thought I lost the work so I'll be uploading the 4 finished vessels for safe keeping as soon as the package is put together...Hopefully tonight. [:)]
