Bluejacket Ship Crafters 1:96 Model Kit of the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brian, Liberty Ship.

This is an older kit produced prior to the 2009 remake by Bluejacket. The newer kits contain laser cut wooden parts while the older kits used basic modeling materials to scratch build the deck components.

I did an inventory of the parts compared to the new model and found a few things missing, these items can be scratch built or the parts can be purchased from Bluejacket.
The missing fittings and part numbers are listed below:
  • engine room telegraph on the open bridge, F0237 (1)
  • turnbuckle on the forestay, F0576, (1)
  • steam winch on the main deck, F0745, (5)
  • windless on the bow, F0755, (1)
  • watertight doors, F0878, (11)
  • flag for gaff, 48 stars, F8011, (1)
  • rub on transfers for name on hull, 1025D, (2)
There are 2 sets of plans. The oldest drawings are from 1984 and is made of 3 sheets, the newer set is pre-2009 remake by Bluejacket and is make up of 2 sheets.
