Hi,

I have a decrepit lead 1200 waterline Tremo model of 1937-40, bought as Malaya, which I had intended to refit as Valiant, however I note that the foredeck breakwater appears to differ from models which I have seen of other QE's. I cannot find a photo or plan of this detail anywhere, does anyone know if Malaya differed from her sisters in this detail?

Thanks,

John T

Hi John,
From various photos the breakwaters of all the five sisterships were very similar, what may make them appear different was what appears to be removable sections on the outer edges of the breakwater for what I guess would be for access purposes
