This Ship Here
SCT = Chemical Goods Freighter or Small Coastal Tanker

I couldn't find any world war two ship match to this and I have serious doubt this is a world war two ship at all. The thing above the mast is clearly a radar not a standard wwii merchant equipment.

This Ship
NTSteamer = Transport Steamer

A plausible WWII island ferry ship,found quite a few looks like it but nothing 100% match.

I Just found this guy here

Swear to god if this isn't the right ship then nothing is.

shadow_wxh · 04-12-21, 07:22 AM

Just found out there is another group of ship looks quite like this one

KQS = Small Costal Merchant

The matching ships are US made WWI era Lake cargo ship
USS Lake Shore

USS Lake Superior

USS Lake Champlain

USS Lake Huron

SS Lake Sunapee

These are not 100% the same ship but the general profile matches and the ship dimesions within reasonalbe range.Consider the model quality we currently having now,I say the model matches these ships fair enough.

Nice find ! But did those ships travel through the Atlantic ?

shadow_wxh · 04-12-21, 11:15 PM

Which one? those KKFKK merchants?Yes. Half of them stayed in the great lake area and retired before WWII. The rest went all over the world sold to all different contries and some even paticipated during D-day.

This ship here
DE_BH1 = Big Hunter or BigHumter01=Coastal Corvette

Is identified as US made SC-497 Class Subchaser.It not the best quality model in the world many details are missing but I am quite confirmed this is the ship.

Here are the real ships:

SC-497

SC-498

SC-661 / BO-303

SC-1047 / BO-208

Huge number of these were made and lend-lease to other countries,435 served in US,8 served in Brasil, 50 served under Free French and France,136 Served in Russian and they do call them "Big Hunter" for some unknown reason obviously they are not very big.

shadow_wxh · 04-20-21, 02:26 PM

This Ship
Schute_M1=Small Tender

Still looking for a positive identification,if anyone one have any lead please share.

142 subchasers of the SC-497 type under Lend-Lease received the Soviet VMF. 50 - by the French, 8 - by the Brazilians. Mexico and Norway received three each. In Norway, all three SCs survived: the hunter "Hitra" (ex-SC-718) is now on display at the Royal Naval Museum, and the remains of the hunters "Hessa" (ex-SC-683) and "Vigra" (ex-SC-1061) can be found off the coast of Sweden.

Sea Hunter "Hitra" in June 2003

I think I didnt count for those who enter service after the war,otherwise the data should be matching.

Looks like various motorized barges used on European rivers; I will try to look for names but I have seen the type before.

I don't think it's modeled after a specific ship - rather a general "motorized barge" concept, meant to represent ships like these:

shadow_wxh · 04-22-21, 02:19 PM

I think it would be rather difficult to 100% identify small ships like those but sometime you never know.

Another ship I have trouble identify is this guy here.

NACG , NACG_early NACG_late = Cargo Steamer
