Three island tramp Steamer

[lupin813]

Hi everybody. Does some body know a model of a three island tramp steamer?
I would appreciate any information about this type of cargo ships.
Thanks

Most of the views of "three island tramp steamers" show the bridge amidship.
However, one view shows the bridge close to the stern.

Is there a difference between "three island tramp steamers" and "tramp steamer"?

See card model of tramp steamer for 15mm role-playing game here:

Wir/Kel makes a tramp freighter with similar lines, called the Olza. It might meet your needs or serve as a basis for kit-bashing.

I have the kit, PM me if you have any specific questions.

here's a couple of photos of the kit:

It's also VERY inexpensive, just $2.99.
