bullhorn Model Incorrect SS Bremen

This Ship:
LUSBremen=Big Liner TS Bremen or Linienschiff TS Bremen

The Model:




Real Ship:
SS Bremen


Photo of Bremen

Other another site showing good quality of Bremen ship model





SS Europa


Camparision: Length Wideth Depth

SS Bremen 286.1m x 31.1m x 21.8 m promenade deck
SS Europa 283.5m x 31.0m x 24.1 m
LUSBremen 246.7m x 27.6m x 24.8 m


Result: At first glance it might seems the model marginally resemble the real ship.The funnel are right size, the masts are in right position, even features a seaplane at top deck. Not until you take a closer look at the data and details then nothing looks right.

The model borrowed hull from Passener Liner Lusitania.I'm not say you absoultely cant borrow bases from other ship to build new ones.But gernally speaking the outcome is rather poor.Unlike other ship models which entends to be over scaled this one is under scaled. SS Bremen features a stepped decks in the back the model show flush deck.

The entire aft section is completely wrong.The deck house should be extended all the way back.
The properllers needs to spaced futher apart.All details are missing.

The promenade deck passage(where the life boats are)should be encircle all around the ship,and with rain cover.The life boat and ravits needs to raise higher so people wont be bumping their heads when walking underneath.The passage below should be windowed not opened.

Reluctant I am this one is disqualified and tow to the scrap yard.Currently we have shortage of good quality german merchant and passener ships due to the fact most of them is too far off scale.
