Wirral 1/1200 M55 Houston City, Reardon Smith Line, 1950s

A 1/1200 scale waterline model of Hpouston City, Reardon Smith Line. This model has been expertly assembled and flawlessly painted by Les Hodder of Wirral Miniature Ships from a sharp original resin casting by Len Jordon.
Houston City was an improved Doxford Economy design ship, built in 1942 when the MOWT insisted that ships should be painted in overall grey. This model represents the ship when in company livery, post-war.
