The after funnel should be closer to the ships midsection. <br /><br />I have found that there is an earlier (1933) film of the same title, but with a completely different plot-line on the Internet Archive. <br /><br />https://archive.org/details/LuxuryLiner_201706Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885769183690278872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601090335485436846.post-73398880596789028452014-12-15T16:41:05.000+08:002014-12-15T16:41:05.000+08:00Another terrific selection December of great old m...Another terrific selection December of great old maritime miniatures! I've been wanting to see LUXURY LINER for years, and even more so now you've posted those excellent model effects shots by the great Buddy Gillespie & his ace miniatures man Don Jahraus.

Both ships were sunk during the war. Note that the red, white and green funnel bands are the same as used by the Italian Line.Paul Jacobshttp://1250scale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601090335485436846.post-39525821614304141962017-09-15T04:17:21.000+08:002017-09-15T04:17:21.000+08:00I Agree with Paul (Jacobs), I remember seeing this...I Agree with Paul (Jacobs), I remember seeing this film around 25 years ago, I always remembered the ship to represent the Conte di Savioa. After looking at the stills, she seems to be a mix of RMS Queen Elizabeth (bow and bridge), Conte di Savoia (Midships), and SS United States (stern).<br>I'm wondering whether those stacks are a tad too small for such a long vessel.<br>One thing is for sure - if the "Mayflower" were a cross from those great ships - she would have inherited the attributes of being very big, beautiful and extremely fast!John Elliottnoreply@blogger.com
