Lusitania for SH3

fitzcarraldo · 10-15-10, 07:05 PM

I want to make a WWI historical mission (but in 1939), with the RMS Lusitania (sunk by a german U-boat on May 7-1915) and a Type II U-boot. But I´m searching a model of the ship for SH3 (GWX or LSH3V5 or WAC)...Do you know a pretty model for the Lusitania (or Mauritania)?

Many thanks!

The Lusitania was a four-stack liner. I'd say that you would probably want the Titanic model I see wandering around this forum occasionally.

Yes, I have the Titanic, but I search a Lusitania or Mauritania. I suppose the Titanic with red and black stacks seems Lusitania, but for historic accuracy, better is a model of that ship.

Many thanks!

I'm not sure if VonDos made the Lusitania or not. I seem to recall someone made one awhile back.

I'm not sure the type of U-Boat that sank the Lusitania was a type II, or was it?

"Lusitania" was sunk by U-20 of the U-19 class. None of these boats served in WWII.

I may be creating a "Lusitania" model for my WWI mod but it's not yet on the drawing board. I still need to finish the submarine models for the project.

He said the liner RMS Aquitania is very similar to the Lusitania, maybe you could use that one.

Speaking of which, I can't find any images of U19 class online... you incorporating this into the WWI mod?

Many thanks! Of course, while I watch the WWI mod, I´ll make this mission in WWII with a type II U-boot. I´m reading Colin Simpson great book of the Lusitania, and I have all the data for the mission.

The Aquitania, yes, is similar and I think is a good option.

Regards.
