There are two ship moddels declared to be Q-Ships in this forum:

One of them is
SCF = Small Costal Freighter

The othe one is
QSS=Small Q-Ship Merchant

I never able to 100% identifiy which ship these two were modelled after.Is it quite obvious these ship are there just for fun the author never declared they are after any real ships. But I put them here anyway so people can notice and in case someone wants to produce real model.Now let's see what are the real Q-ships loosk like.

HMS Looe

HMS Lambridge

HMS Prunella

HMS Cyprus

HMS Brutus

HMS Maunder

HMS Fidelity

HMS Antoine

HMS Chatsgrove

HMS Edgehill

USS Captor

USS Asterion

USS Carolyn

USS Big Horn

USS Irene Forsyte

USS Anacapa

As we can see here they all look different,only SFC marginally resembels USS Anacapa but they are not the same size. SFC is 78.5m long 2350ton weight, USS Anacapa is 102m long weights over 7000ton. There are a few thing we can summaries from these ship though:

Most of are medium size ships between 115~125m in lengh 4000~6000 in GRT
Most of them are old style KFK cargo ships plus a schooner a tanker and a few small ones
One of the empire ship standard type seems suited well as a Q-Ship model but as it is discussed in this thread before we have problem with that ship model too.
