Question: M.V. BENLEDI (VI)

[hasse neren]

Hello from Sweden, my name is Hasse.
I´m new in this forum, and what a surprise to find this Ben Line forum. I´m 56 year old and was sailing on the Johnson line in the 70´s on M.S. PORTLAND and M.S. RIO DE JANEIRO. In this days i build models of cargo ships and tankers. My next shipmodel is M.V. BENLEDI or sistership in 1/480 scale. Please help my in finding "detail" photos of this beautiful ship, so i can make the model to a fine replica of the real ship.
Thank´s Hasse.

Hi Hassle

Like yourself, I have always been interested in anything to do with the history of the Ben Line and particularly the "Benledi". Sailed on her in 1969/70

A few years ago a guy in Vancouver called Bill Bull built a scale model of the "Benledi" and sent me these photo.

Regards.
