GREEN PARROTT. 1/48th Scale We have been told that this small river steam launch was constructed by Denny Bros for use in rivers of Siam as a postal and service craft for the royal family at that time. She lasted from the turn of the century when she shipped out to Siam in sections and reassembled. She popped up again during the 1920s and again in the 1960s during the troubles when we have been informed that she was "borrowed" by the special services for clandestine operations, hence the addition of a 20mm Gun to the fordeck and a wheelhouse plated with sheet steel. Since then she has vanished from the scene, and there are certain problems with trying to trace any more of her history. Glass fibre hull with plate detail + a complete glass fibre superstructure with port and window detailing. Length 762mm Beam 120 mm Depth 60mm Sailing weight 1.7 kgs
