Now the model has a different midships island, ladders on the deckhouses, a new 3d wheelhouse, more detailed lifeboats, and more rigging. The armament has been changed to reflect typical UK and Commonwealth merchant ship armament - now, the late war versions will be armed with 2-pounders instead of 20mm cannon. It will be used by the Netherlands as well as Great Britain and Canada (I found out that the Dutch government-in-exile purchased at least two ships of this type). You can easily add it to the roster of whichever country you want but I don't know of any other nationalities that used them. The superstructure & hull textures have been improved. Skins include green blotch camo (shown here), grey blotch camo, blue blotch camo, two-tone grey and grey overall. Tonnage will stay the same (6800 - 7100 GRT). The download will also have a small preview of the other ships I am going to release.

Revelation! Empire Freighter in camo! SuperB work!
