Catalogue number M03 This model is 70mm or 2.5 inches in length. In 2020 there was a news item about this ship which was in Oban port. Because of lockdown the crew had to stay on board before their next duty. But from his gran's garden a little boy could see his daddy who was Captain of Pharos. A case of waving and not hugging. So as we were making Galatea it made a lot of sense to make Pharos too. Brilliant models imho. -
