The "Prinses Beatrix" built by Verolme Scheepswerf B.V. in Heusden, the Netherlands, in 1978, her design masterminded by famous naval architecture bureau Knud E. Hansen, Denmark, she served as the "Duc De Normandie" for Brittany Ferries for almost two decades and as "Wisteria" for Trans Europe Ferries thereafter, is seen here replicated for her owner as the "Vronskiy" in her latest livery in charter for Trasmediterranea operated by Pulchramare, Slovenia.
The "Vronskiy" is rendered in scale 1/200 at a high level of detail including non-generic, but customized parts and main features are highlighted as follows:
- model properly constructed as per shipyard drawings incl. deck camber
- stairs and ladders with rails
- relings with frequent supports
- liferings and MOB-liferings
- lifeboat numbering and name plus homeport
- lifeboat hooks
- open exhaust pipes in the stack
- spin windows
- folded bulwark stays
- three dimensional structures with girders (example: stern ramp)
As a standard of the Precise Scale Models, the "Vronskiy" is made of CNC machined brass/copper/phosphor bronze plates and the hull machined of polyurethane block.
The paints used have a medium silk gloss to give a model a rather realistic look instead of high gloss polished, but this is subject of customization.
