Model of HMS Princess Beatrix

[type82]

Does anybody know if anyone else made a kit other than waterline models of this ship as my grandfather wants me to build it for him as he was on her during WW2

Hi I have researched and scratchbuilt a model of HMS Princess Beatrix, in which my late Uncle Stanley Lee sailed in her for most of WW2, as an AB Quartermaster Coxswain. Much of my research of his and others stories, plus an english translation of her and sister ship Queen Emma can be found here - https://sites.google.com/site/hmsprincessbeatrix/

I also have on the web pictures of my boat being built, sailed and also plans of PB including copies of her bulkheads, bow and Stern taken from a 1/50th scale hull only drawing sent to me by her constructors De Schelde and other waterlined models here - https://plus.google.com/photos/105320663983164384164/albums?banner=pwa - and here - https://plus.google.com/photos/105562993097936235014/albums?banner=pwa

Hope these are some help in your endeavour for your GrandFather, feel free to use plans etc as you see fit. I am afraid no-one does a kit apart from the 700th scale you have found. if you or your Grandfather have any more pictures or material on Princess Beatrix would be most interested in seeing it, so I can share with like minded researcher I am in touch with around the world. My email address is on research site.

Just wondering if you have started your model yet, and if any of my links were of any use.
