The kit that I acquired of the SS Brasil ended up with several major pieces missing after I inventoried what came in the box. At first I was a bit angry and figured it would end up on the junk heap of unfinished projects I have started. But now that I have had time to think about it I think I will take a shot at kitbashing it into a purely fantasy generic cruise ship using some sheet styrene I bought. I will remove the crane winches and bases fore and aft, fashion a new dummy funnel top and make a few other changes that will make it look typical for that time period. I won't be adding the extra decks that were installed on the Brasil and Argentina but, to me, they made the ships look top heavy anyway. I think I will paint the hull black and the decks a medium grey. I need to scrounge a couple of launches that are typical of cruise ships and a few other items to replace some of the missing parts. If anyone has or knows where I can find a partial kit of the Brasil please let me know where to look. Once I get started I will start a build log and post images as I proceed.
