Some of these models have developed a fault over time and we have several of these where the hull has risen slightly towards its middle. Each of these tankers and bulkers has been taken out of its box, individually photoed and sat flat on the table (card sea as in the Triang Battle Fleet Sets.) These were made by the now defunct Triang Minic Company in 2012.  This is a model of a bulk carrier in the livery of China Steel. The casting is based on a 100,000+ deadweight ton Capesize Bulk Carrier, with a cargo capacity of approximately 110,000 cubic metres, similar to a series of ships built by Oshima Shipbuilding Co Ltd of Oshima, Japan and Imabari Shipbuilding Co Ltd of Saijo, Japan.

The model is marked on the underside with the Tri-ang Minic logo, “Modern Edition”, model number P 640 and the description Bulk Carrier.This model code number is P641. It is 208mm or 8.2 inches in length .  OUR REF FX18  Slight bend in the centre.
